I will be leaving friday morning, from Denver, where is a good place to meet everybody up at?

 

Are you planning on running Holy Cross with everyone? If so, we are meeting at the trailhead of HC at 9-9:30am and will be rolling out at 9:40-9:45 to make sure we are the first rigs on the trail.

If you don't plan on running HC, you can meet up at the campsite (which I will post exact directions and locations on this thread Thursday). We will probably be done with HC @ 4-5pm and back into camp @ 6pm.

 

I'm leaving Longmont Friday after work if you're not running HC and want to convoy

 

I'll be leaving Northglenn Friday evening if you want convoy.

I'm going to staple some signs to sticks and post em up along 315 and 305 so's people know which way. 315 is a little rough at the start and there is some sand that may make it tough for towed rigs and trailers to get through but you could make it.

I have about 5 glow sticks that I'll be hanging with the signs around 8 pm. on both nights. The signs will be paper plates with CO4RJ on them and arrows indicating direction. I'll also be outlining the camp site with orange tape so it's a little more reserved looking.

I'm in a blue 86 4 Runner with a black top stock height and a little white trailer in tow.

I've got a couple of pallets from work that I'm breaking down and bringing up. Wont be enough wood to last through the night on thursday though. so bring a bundle or two each and we should have a bon fire in no time I'll also have a chain saw in case.

Well i better get off this internet wave surfing machine and get back to work on some stuff before thursday.

 

Thanks again for getting us a campsite! I plan on bring some firewood as well but it will need to be cut up before we use it. Glad your bring a chainsaw

Thanks for the heads up on the 315 road conditions. Would it be easier for tow trucks and trailers to drive 305 to 376 (Lenhardy Cut-off) and then southwest to 315?

Seriously, if anybody needs to call me, please do. I'll have my cell phone. If I don't answer, leave me a voice mail. I plan on driving down to cell coverage to check messages several times Thursday night, Friday after Holy Cross, and Friday night. My # is seven one nine - two five one - 9218.

Work is going to be very hard this week

 

I will be up in Talyor park and would like to meet up with a few people.

Is anyone going to run Iron chest? I will be closest to that, and i may not get back over Cottonwood pass until Sunday.

So, at least i should be able to run Chinamans with you all if you hit it sunday.

Anyways hope to see you all up that way.

 

I know that mt_goat was looking for somebody to run Iron Chest / Grizzly Lake with on Saturday. Maybe you two can work something out time-wise to meet at the trailhead!

We'll be running Chinamans at 9-9:30am on Sunday. If you are running late, just jump on the trail and catch up with us. We'll have a large group and might be running a little slower.

 

Bump to page 6

Up to 34 rigs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be updating this list as soon as I hear from people I PM'd, etc...

 

Arriving Friday early afternoon or so. I would very much like to run Iron Chest and snag a .gpx of it for the Salida Ranger District.

 

Aaron,
Thanks for setting up all of this.
I can't wait to get off of work on Friday.

What trails are being run on Saturday?
My 4runner is not capiable of tackling Carnage.
I am interested in running Chinamans or ??

 

No problem, I was bummed that it got mishandled / canceled last year so I figured I'd try to plan it this year.

Saturday trails - I know several people want to run Iron Chest / Grizzly Lake but Iron Chest would be tough for you open dif. I know you could make Grizzly Lake (with a tug or winch up one hard section if it's wet).

I would recommend talking with everyone Friday night and rounding some some people to run Wheeler Lake. I really like that trail and will give you a challenge.

I would also recommend Mount Antero, Tin Cup Pass, Boulder Mountain, or Mount Princeton.

You could also run Chinamans but I would recommend finding somebody with a winch to run with just in case (V-notch is ugly this year for lockerless rigs)

 

I find the same thing... nothing more exhausting than having 12 trucks + on the trail for a full day. I'd be interested in the trails above or running the opposite of the crew doing Iron Chest and then Grizzly...

 

I wouldnt mind running Holy Cross, will have to see how long it will take me to get there from the Denver area, and plan a time to leave in the AM to make it for the run

As for you tc, I would love to convoy, but I have friday off... Call in sick, and lets head out in the morning!

 

It's not worth it for me to miss a day of work ... just makes the next day suck that much worse!

Especially the last day of the month.

 

Looks like I got forgotten...

Well I'm coming anyway! Leaving Friday morningish from the Denver Tech Center area and would be more than happy to join a convoy heading down if there is one?

As for trails, I am willing and wanting to do anything my truck is capable of, now that I have a rear locker.

 

Anyone want to run Chinaman Gulch on Saturday instead of Sunday??? Maybe like 6-7 of us tops? I will have a SAS'd 4runner on 36" Iroks, and a single cab longbed that is on 37s (or 39s by now) with me. I'll be open diff'd on 35s, but should be fine from what Jason tells me.

 

Maybe in the afternoon after the COTTORA crew gets back from rafting ...

 

you'll be fine. You may need a strap at the vnotch, but there is a line we got a LSD truck on 32's through with only 2 tries. I doubt you'll need the strap, as long as you find the right line.

 

I am definately planning on running Holy Cross on Fri and Carnage on Sat. I will have an extra seat if anybody decides they don't want to wheel on Sat and would like to ride along on Carnage, well more like walk along because it goes so slow..

As Aaron has said we are going to get together Fri night and decide who wants to run which trails. If a large # of people want to run the same trail on a given day we can split up the group and stagger the start with the more capable rigs in the front so they don't hold up the second group.
