Coming from the Buena Vista direction (CO Springs people) it will be on the right. It is like 100 yards from the intersection. YOu can't miss it.
If I remember right, I believe it is a Shell, I may be wrong though. I vaguely remember the shell colors on the gas station.

I'm looking forward to this so much.

Okay, i had a request for a few more directions, so here goes. From I-70, go west until you get to the C-470 exit, and take it south until you get to US 285, and go west, towards fairplay. Stay on 285 until you get to fairplay, which will probably take you about 1.5 to 2 hours. As you come into fairplay, you'll see a sign for Hwy 9, which i'm pretty sure is a colorado highway, but not sure. Anyway, just before you get to hwy 9, there will be a gas station on the left. Turn into the gas station, cuz that's where we'll be meeting. Lets go with CB channel 5.

I used to have one when I lived on Guam. Awesome RIG! Here are some photos:

This is where I cracked the running boards

Bilsteins...they were so, so nice.

Let's see, how much of this tire can I fit into here?

I am running a lifted tundra. Not sure how to post pics but you can check it out here: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/545806

I hope i can get up there with you guys but will most likely have to work saturday unless i go in at about 4 in the morning and get all my stuff done early so i can head to the trail. I still wont know if i would be able to or not until it gets closer but wouldn't mind caravanning with you guys, i work basically off I-76 and sheridan.

Thanks for the pics Avsguy33. I've seen you on TS a time or two and I think I saw your truck on I-225 north bound last Friday morning on my way to work. My Tundra is stock but does great on the trails that I've been on. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make this run yet. I probably will but will know for sure in a day or two...

Yeah probably was me, around 8:30 or so going north. I just ordered a set of headers on the group buy from TS and hope to get them and install them next week. Where at you located at in Denver. Unfortuanatly for me, my days off are tuesday and wednesday so i cant really do many of these trips unless i pull some strings. Still hoping to make this one though. Sounds like a lot of people and a lot of fun.

Mosquito Pass

Looks like Doug and I are going.
Just a question for those of you who have run this trail. I have a little anxiety problem with major drop off shelf roads :cry: if the roads is very narrow, wide is ok. The pictures do not show this as being very bad. If there are a couple of short sections I can certainly walk them cause I really wanna do this run with all these people going. Lots of people we haven't met. Can someone give me a little more low down about the trail.

Thanks
Darcie(damn these anxiety attacks)Does anyone carry valium or xanax
