LOST Rockies (KW_AV8R - our volunteer coordinator) coordinated with the national park service to go clean up a trail area today.

Well, the expectations were low considering the weather conditions but we ended up having a great turnout. We had a total of eight vehicles participate. We picked up a few new "official" members to LOST Rockies (Colorado) and made new friends.

We had snow up in the mountains the last couple of days and we weren't sure if we were going to get very many people to show up.

The snow made it almost impossible to find trash but we did find a lot where we expected it to be near Eagle Rock. The snow was much deeper in the Mt Baldy area so we gave up, had our monthly meeting and sat/stood around a camp fire and talked.

It was a great time overall even though we didn't have good ground conditions.

Check out the pictures I took. If you took some, please post. Who wants to do the write-up in the "Past Runs" section?


Here we are letting our tranny's cool off. Many of us get the Tranny hot light come on about the same location everytime.



Yesterday was the first day of Fall. Welcome to winter in the Colorado mountains....errrr....I mean Fall.



Great contrast. Yellow Aspen surrounded by white. What happened to the reds, oranges, and greens? Well, we really don't get much red or orange here.






You can see Ted's rear as we approach Eagle Rock (the rock you see in the picture).


Here is an area where we did some trash clean up.



A few of us hung around the camp fire a little longer.

The snowball fights were fun. The snow packed as you picked it up. No need to compress it to throw.

Not a bad day,we picked up good amount of trash considering the conditions.It was fun just hanging around the camp fire a talking,a little chilly at times but a great overall time.

Started a post in the Past Runs forum with a link to here. Maybe someone who went could do a proper write-up.

On this run everyone was lifted I believe (although that was not required). We try to do two runs a month - one is challenging and requires modifications while the other is stocker friendly.

Sorry guys, I've been off the net for the last couple of days. Work decided to try to squeeze to many things into too few hours. Things are going to be a little less hectic over the next couple of days so I'll try to do a proper write-up then.

Okay guys, I finally did the write-up for this run on the Past Trail Runs forum. I'm also going to post a link in the Land Use Forum since that seems to be an appropriate place.
