Keith, don't tell her! Just out for a little spin.
Doing Radical Hill to St. John's to bypass a people is a good idea, providing no one is coming down and we have to wait long. I think we will play it loose and see if there is a crowd to deal with. I'm hoping a little later start gets the early birds up the hill ahead of us.
OK, does the Evergreen Exit work for everyone? 9:30am, just a tad earlier. If others would rather meet at the Keystone Parking lot chime in and I will give you my cell phone number.
If we are all at Evergreen on time, we should be in the Keystone parking lot by 11am at the very latest. Then it's less then an hour to the base of Red Cone the direct route, a little longer if up Radical Hill first.
Pack a lunch we eat at the summit!
how long does this run usually take? we may be interested in bringin our zj's if it is not too long.
It's not like a Golden Spike trip!Originally Posted by jsteves
The various books say an hour from Keystone to the base of Red Cone, then another 2-3 to go down Hand Cart and Up and Down Red Cone. Hour back to Keystone.
Roughly a half day, depending on crowds. I have done it quicker, and have taken more time, going on to Breckenridge, but maybe that isn't in the cards for this trip, we shall see how it goes.
yea Curt and I did it last year and we were in a hurry and did the run in about 4-5 hours. This was taking Hand Cart to Red Cone - Radical Hill - Deer Trail and then Webster back to 285. It was like a mini baja on Webster which was kinda fun.
Have fun.. I am going to Twin Lakes with volvo to fish with the kids.
So I am in for sure
See you guys at the Evergreen Exit tomorrow at 9:30
Great, see you all there tomorrow morning!
Me too! Tomorrow morning!
I hate to bring bad news, but I posted this run on Colorado 4x4.org and a couple people came back saying redcone and webster are still closed. One guy said he drove by and the signs said both were closed but it looked like someone cut a hole through the snow. Another said that there were 3-6 foot drifts and another called today and the FS said they are closed till at least the 9th....
So....
I suggest we run something like Jenny Creek? It is not too dificult, but still a cool trail that I took my ZJ on back when it was stock. Meeting time and place would still be the same and it is not an all day long trail. This trail is near Rollinsville past blackhawk for those who might not know.
Just an idea. Or we could still try to see if it is open now. One guy said that they FS said it was closed for a week after it was opened last year so you never know, I'd just hate to go all that way and not be able to do much. I know for sure that Jenny Creek is open all the way to the top to the dirt road that takes you back to Central City.
I'll keep checkin this and still plan on meeting tomorrow morning!
If anyone needs/wants to please call my cell: 303-913-8710. it might be easier to figure this out by phone instead on the forum.
Well, I'm hitting the hay. Still meeting tomorrow at 9:30am.
Another option is Spring Creek, so we can talk tomorrow.
I have your cell #.

I think the north side of webster & radical is open. I guess we'll find out.
well, i think our wheelin is going to be delayed at least until monday, so enjoy the trip!
What are you running on Monday? I am pretty sure I waved to you the other day on Lowell. I was in my black ZJ turning onto 124th. I am trying to convince the wife to go wheeling on the 4th. But it needs to be short and not to tough, I am 31s open. I dunno if I can make it yet but let me know what you were thinking.

yeah that was me you saw. I think we will be hitting either spring creek or jenny creek. both are short and pretty close. i think you would be fine on either. let me know if you are interested.
I am working all day today, now till 1am. Leave a post here with your plans and times, I will check this when I gethome. Thanks
Ken
hey, the trail is still up in the air, but we are leaving around 8:00. I will PM you my cell number.
Hey, I think I will be camping at the base of the winch-hill, the first obstacle on Spring creek. If you see my blue ZJ there swing on over and I'll run the rest of the trail with you.
Mike
well, i think we decided to do jenny. never been there before, soooo.
