Ok, I just saw another report on co4x4 that said the mosquitos were horrible at the lake. So this for sure is going to change. Looking for other trail options now...

JT - are yuo in Golden? we are heading thru there up to highway 119. We could meet yuo in Golden - probably heading out of thornton about 8:30 to 9:00. Right now it's just me (with a truck full of kids) so another vehichle would be some good company. Maybe yuo should give me a call on my cell

Yup, this did happen - and thanks to Jeff for tagging along with us and being patient with out occasional stops.

This is about as close to a wheeling pic that I got...


And here was my in truck crew - we borrowed our twin niece and nephew for the day to treat them to lunch atop a 12000ft mountain!

yeah - there were just 2 of us but it's a popular trail - there were a lot of other trucks up there outside of our little group.

That's overlooking Loch Lomond (there is a trail that runs to the lake... http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=71) This trail we ran, Kingston Peak has several points where yuo are overlooking many lakes like the one above. It's really a must do trail in my opinion - not hard trail but great scenery.
