So if my schedule pans out the way it SHOULD, I'm gonna have 7/2 through 7/6 off work. Saturday through Wednesday. Current thoughts are to head to the BV area, run some trails like OCG, Holy Cross, probably some of the easier stuff in the area too. Planning on camping at a little spot I know about 10-15 miles NW of BV. So far it's just me and Pam, and I'm HOPING to have her Jeep at least somewhat ready to go by then, i.e. 2" BB, 31's, some sliders, tow points, the basics. Anybody wanna join us for some or all of it?
Well then stay fucker!Originally Posted by OverkillZJ
And BTW, I checked the breaker box yesterday, the only time I looked at it was in the dark, and there's 3 empty spots. I'm thinkin one 220 and then 2 of the teeny tiny 20 amp guys.
Getting closer. Who's up for some wheeling?
If I do wheel, it'll only be Monday through Wednesday. I'm either going to MN Sat-Wed or working Sat and Sun, wheeling Monday - Wednesday.Originally Posted by JohnBoulderCO
I'm available Sat-Tue over the 4th of July long weekend. So, pick a day and let's hit some trails.
Anyone else?
Cool! I could probably make Friday as well.
Hey, it's 4th of July, need to use some vacation.
I can probably make it for a couple days, what day for Holy Cross? This all depends on my new schedule which I haven't found out yet either...
I'm going either Sat or Sun for sure.
Trails I'm considering: Keystone loop including Red Cone, Spring Creek or Holy Cross
OK, who is in for some wheeling this weekend?
What are you running Wednesday? I'm in Leadville so I can go either direction. Holy Cross or OCG.
Wednesday? A pretty tough trail, located in most places, it's called Work.
Dave, you still wheeling over the weekend or in MN ??? John
If you are going to make some easier runs or runs with plenty of bypasses I would like to join. I don’t want to be in way over my head, but it’s time for me to start wheeling this old jeep.
I am headed up the weekend either way, let me know if a newbie can tag along.
You are the only one interested!
If we do the Keystone, Red Cone, Breckenridge loop, you will be fine.
Holy Cross, no way. Spring Creek, no problem except for the Rock Garden which has a bypass, people are debating if it is legal or not.
I'm leaning toward Sunday at this point.
No one else?
If you are doing the Keystone loop trails maybe I will run Webster with the Volvo Cross Country.
Actually we will be fishing in the area or perhaps near Deckers depending my brothers prefs.
Have fun.
OK, I'm heading up Sunday and plan on running in order:
Starting on Keystone side--Webster, Handcart, Red Cone, Radical Hill or Deer Creek (depending on who comes), Middle Fork, Georgia Pass--End on the Breckenridge Side.
We could meet at I-70/Morrison and caravan up or meet in the Keystone Skier Parking lot.
Keith/Jack, does this work for you guys?
Anyone else?
I should be able to make it too. I will probably also be with a rubicon w/33s and a CJ-2a w/32s. The 2a will probably be trailered there since its top speed is a lightning fast 45 on the highway, so we can meet at morrison or Keystone skier lot. What time?
Looks like we got a little group brewing. Cool.
Time, well, these runs aren't that hard, or take that long, but are very scenic. I was thinking be in the Keystone parking lot before lunch time, that would put us in Breck by dinner time. If we start to run late, we could just go back down Webster to Keystone for a quick exit. Did you have a start time in mind?
Well we may have 2-3 more short wheelbase CJs and TJs coming too, a few guys from MHJC might be interested in tagging along. They are still debating what they are going to do. When I find out if they are coming for sure, I'll let you know.
Yeah, if we are heading out of Keystone by probably 1030 or maybe even a little later we should be good on time, ive ran all these trails before and really like them. So maybe meet at 9:45 somewhere on I-70?? I will be coming from Evergreen.
That sounds like a good meeting time. Meet at the Evergreen exit instead? Are they not sure about going or are they thinking about doing another trail?
Yeah, they are fun trails. Radical Hill from bottom to top is always fun!
My dad is in the On The Rocks MHJC. They wanted their group to go run Redcone in particular, but only a few can go, so my dad has suggested to them that they should tag along with us. He said he would call me tonight and let me know what they plan on doing.
Evergreen exit works great. How about at the El Rancho parking lot? Evergreen Parkway exit off I-70, and then right at the light and the El Rancho Restaurant lot is directly on the left.
Going down Redcone is fun too, especially if there are mountain bikers at the bottom watching and thinking you are crazy!
Well I dont think my wife will be hip with wheeling the Cross Country even though the changes on Webster would make it do able in a Volvo Wagon start to finish.
That combination of trails is one of my favorite trips and I am bumbed that my Jeep is out of commision for it. By the way you should start a little sooner than noon on a 4th of July weekend to do all of those in a day lit day. I suggest you do Radical Hill to bypass a bunch of people on Deer Trail and lower Webster. Another fun part would be after Red Cone take Radical Hill to St Johns and then end up back in Montezuma. Just a couple ideas for you all.
I have been thinking about camping on Webster at the river crossing in a couple of weeks. I can get to it with the car from the Keysone side and then my kids and I could hike the three peaks in the area.
Have fun whatever you do.
