Iv'e got a Rising Run Snow run planned for this Sunday the 15th in case anyone is interested.


Sunday April 15th
Let's meet at the cemetery west of Central City at 9am and leave by 9:30am - the normal spot.

For people who have not been there, we meet at a large parking lot near several cemetery's. This is located about a mile or so west of the town of Central City on the road heading up and west out of town. Most of us take the new Central City highway into Central City from I-70.

We will see how far we can get. Expect to run into large snow drifts. Make sure you have tow points so you can be strapped out. This time of year the the road going up will be patchy - so we usually don't chain up in the main meeting spot since there will probably be long sections of dirt road before we get up and into the deep stuff.

 

Hmmm,we got anywhere from a few inches to well over a foot expected tomorrow so I'm sure those sections of dirt might not exist on Sunday.

 

The forecast I checked for Central City is saying a total accumulation of about 3 inches by the weekend. Here's what the trail looked like back on April 7th. Hopes that helps.

 

The weatherpeople strike again!

Not a single flake here in Longmont...

 

Yeah, nothing down in Centennial, Englewood, Greenwood Village, Littleton, or Lakewood (all along my commute to work). Sounds like fun though. I won't be attending though, no tow points on the rear, and no chains (if there was snow afterall).

 

None here in Denver either. New forecast of just over an inch before Saturday and Sunny on Sat.

 

Yep,a whole whopping dusting of rain so far.

 

Dangit Jade - I so want to go - but we have to help a friend work on his celica. I really want to run with the rising sun folks! Next time Fo Sho!

 

Darn - we will miss you again on the trail.

 

Well how was it???

 

Like Ric's run a few weeks ago it was a complete winch fest, not a lot of wheelin. A lot of recoverys and a broken side rear window for me getting into a tree.

 

The curse of 'wheeling a 4Runner....
