Would you attend a Colorado Event like this?
Location: Buena Vista, CO
Duration: Friday through Sunday
Timeframe: Mid August
Trail Agenda:
Hardest: Holy Cross, Iron Chest, Chinamen's
Harder: Nothing, Grizzly Lake, Wheeler Lake
Scenic: Nothing, Mount Antero, Mosquito Pass
Halfmoon Creek is still out there moderately. The middle days are all in the same area, all close and should run decent.
If we are heavy with more modified rigs, there will be other trails, and/or multiple runs at Chinamen's and Holy Cross
Please comment.

After doing a LOT of searching for a Kampgrounds in the other areas we talked about, I've come to the conclusion that, it would be hard to beat Chalk Creek. So might as well count me in!!!! Still alot of trails in the BV area we've yet to run.
Jake.
P.S. Where do we sign up?

Thanks.
I saw the others and am still pondering. It seems that you are pondering what I am pondering.
I will work on a sign up place this week.

So I guess there are only 3 hard trails in Colorado? I don't think so. Since I passed on last year I guess I could do the same ones again. Since I took a year off.
YOUR NOT going to run Martinez/Woodpecker or Terminator next time your here. Plan on the Gap by Tucson or Axle Alley.

I also agree, after pondering other alternatives, that Chalk Creek in Buena vista is the best all around spot.
Red Cone would be a stretch for one day. Grizzly Lake trail could be fun moderate addition. Iron Chest is questionable. All the large rocks they put back in the trail are loose. So they roll around under your rig. When I looked at the first section last summer, there was no way I was going to do it. Perhaps the rocks will "set up" over the winter.
That would cool if Schaefer made it this year.

I will add some more. It was a long hard one today.
There is some tweaking and rules to make, post, etc.
Expect more later in the week.
Brent hit it, there are plenty of hard trails here. There is just plenty of space between them.
If I have a monster truck, I will do Iron Chest. Steve will, Steve will, Jim will, Brent will and who knows about other big trucks I have never met.

Adrian...What you have so far looks good. I am looking at coming out there in some capacity. Best case I make the NC-CO drive again; worst case I maybe ride shotgun with someone.

That's 3 days there and probably 2 back. Along with the 3 or so days in Colorado.
