Wish i could be there

See you all on the trails another time!

 

I have never run ironclads and couln't even guess how long it will take. We definately won't be in too much of a hurry. However, I don't think there is anything on that trail that would keep you from bailing out (on your own) at whatever time you needed to to get back to town. It's your call.


Isaac- your gonna be out of town right? We'll catch up with you soon.


John

 

Yeah, i'll be in Florida, hanging on the beach. We will definetly get out soon!

 

I'd like to start getting a "FOR SURE" headcount - post up if you are plainning on coming "for sure"

John

 

We'll be there.

 

We're anxious to meet your little one!



to all others- Please post up if you are a "FOR SURE" - I'm repeating this since my last post is on the other page.

Well, POOP. I'm thinking of changing this to sunday - my starter has been acting up and even more so the last 2 days so I might use saturday to redo starter contacts. Would changing this to a sunday june 10th run really foul anyone up? Especially you Brian (Crux)?

John

 

Well, I'm making it official - I'm changing the run to SUNDAY the 10th

Sorry for the inconvenience to anyone - but I don't like the idea of heading to the hills with a known problem with my truck. So, same info just a different day....

Details:
Date: Sunday, June 10th <<-- Note the Change to Sunday the 10th
Time: Meet at 120th & I-25 ( go east on 120th - 1st light - take a left into at the diamond shamrock / dicount tire store) at 8:45 - leave by 9:00
or meet at trailhead - at the Nort entrance to Bunce School Road (at the old school house) at around 10 am
Trails: Ironclads to start and then if we are all still up for it (kids mainly) we'll hit Miller Rock.
Misc: CB channel 4 - bring lunch, camera, and whatever else you and your little one might need.

John

 

Sunday, I'm in. I may bail out before end but would love to wheel. I'll meet at the trail head since I'm coming from the fort.

CB channel 4.

 

Ok, for those wanting to meet at the trailhead, Let's meet at the North entrance of bunce school road at the old school house. (we have to run some of Bunce School to get to Ironclads trail)

Directions: Coming from the north, take Highway 7 south through Allenspark. Before you get to the turn for Highway 72 you will see a sign for a "point of interest" -- a brown sign with arrows. This point of interest is the Bunce School where the trail starts.

There are maps to bunce school and info here: http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=123

I'll be there. I'll meet you at Bunce at 10ish.

I have not been in this area. It sounds fun. Still not sure I can go though. What time you would you expect to be off the trail?

I assume I could be carful and not damage my gas tank. I would still have my stock gas tank skid on and would not want to dame the new tank I just had Oleg put on. It's my 3rd one and I'm lovin having 18.5 gallons of gas again.

 

I havn't run ironclads but i think it's pretty tame - and miller rock I ran once last summer and don't remember bashing anything under the truck. I think you'll be fine.

I expect to be home in Thornton by about 5. But i know others have to bail early too - maybe after the 1st trail right after lunch.

AHHH VW swap meet on the 10th!!! I have to miss the run to ditch all the vw parts i have stock piled. you guys will have a blast tho.

 

Got my wrenching done - so it's a green light. See you tomorrow.

John

 

Glad you got your rig ready John. Your right about the 5pm time, that's usually a reality with most runs. Sorry, but I just won't be able to make it with the kids and the recitle and all going on. Have a great time.

 

The boys and I plan to be there.

 

Full report please! I should have gone. Made $27 selling crap at the swap meet and it cost me $25 to get down there and home. Good news is the over heating on the truck made me spend more money to fix it...i think

 

This trip was a fun time. It's been awhile since I've been out.
Glad the family from Florida had a good time too!

 

Thanks to everyone for showing up!!! We had 11 or 12 rigs - 4 of which were FJ Cruisers. Lot's of people brought there kids so it turned out good for a Lil Tot's Run. We only ended up running Ironclads as it took a little longer than anticipated and by about 3:00 when we were back down most of the kids (and parents) were ready to head home. I only took a couple of pics - not even of any trucks so it's not worth a new trip report thread unless someone else has some pics to share.

All in all it was a fun time - cleared some of my wheeling cobwebs out, met some new folks and caught up with some old friends.
