Sunday, Nov 6th Run

KW AV8R · **Posted:** Tue Sep 13, 2005 5:32 am

I will be home on R&R around the beginning of November and I was hoping we could get together for something. I know it's a long way out at this point, but I wanted to put out some feelers.

Sorry Pete. I have Guard training that weekend. If you are home for the next weekend, I am up for it.

i would have to say maybe. its alittle far out for me to plan

USAFCOP · **Posted:** Sat Sep 17, 2005 8:38 pm

Sunday, I can garauntee I would go with you!!!

Saturday, all depends on Football schedule. If it is a home game, I will be working it.

Saturday or Sunday would work for me. I'm up for just about anything but I think someone other than me should pick the trail. :wink:

edit:
How about this. We make the 6th (Sunday) a hard date. If the weather turns to crapola, we have the backup plan of a 'meet and eat'.

We can probably go. That's too far out to know for sure, but I think we're good.

KW AV8R · **Posted:** Wed Sep 28, 2005 8:32 pm

I got it confirmed the other day, I will be home for that weekend. Any ideas for something to do?

Tokyojoe · **Posted:** Wed Sep 28, 2005 9:05 pm

If it turned into a Meet, Greet, and Eat....how about dinner? I could make that after Gaurd drill (off at 4pm).

If you end up hitting the trails, have a lot of fun.

Most likely I could make it.

KW AV8R · **Posted:** Thu Sep 29, 2005 7:41 pm

Of course everything is dependant on how the weather is that day, but maybe we could do a run during the day and then finish up with a dinner? That way we could get maximum participation. I'm just throwing out ideas so that we have a solid plan by the time it rolls around.

USAFCOP · **Posted:** Wed Oct 05, 2005 10:18 pm

well, how about the 6th?

I just looked today, and the Army Vs AF game is the 5th, so I will be working on Sat until at least 9 pm (we got to let tailgaters stay at least 2 hours after the game to party :evil:

) So, Sunday will work best for me.

Pete do you want me to see if I can get you a pair of tickets to the game? No garauntees, but I could try asking one of my buddies up on the hill. Kick off is at 1330.

KW AV8R · **Posted:** Wed Oct 05, 2005 10:44 pm

Ted, thanks for the offer and I may take you up on it next time, but this time I'm going to have to pass.

USAFCOP · **Posted:** Thu Oct 06, 2005 10:17 pm

so will the 6th work for the get together/wheeling?

KW AV8R · **Posted:** Fri Oct 07, 2005 7:02 am

Jen and I are still planning for a run/meet and greet on the 6th. We're hoping that we can get a decent sized group together no matter what we do. What trails do we want to run if the weather behaves/doesn't behave? Are people up for dinner afterwards so we can re-hash the days events over a couple of drinks (eg: soda or iced tea :wink:

)? Anyone have any other ideas?

Let's do something close to the Springs so you don't have to spend your limited time driving.

My votes:

China Wall
Slaughterhouse Gulch / Crow Hill

KW AV8R · **Posted:** Fri Oct 07, 2005 10:29 pm

I've never done those but I'm up for just about anything. I'll look them up when I get a chance. I don't mind driving if it means that more people can turn up.

broncsrule · **Posted:** Fri Oct 07, 2005 10:58 pm

I'm probably in on this run also, no matter where. Broncos have a bye that weekend....whooowhooo!

RespectMyLibertay · **Posted:** Sun Oct 09, 2005 2:35 am

It is quite a ways away still, but I will plan on coming until something comes up; hopefully it won't. I just got my new shoes on, so I want to test them out. I vote something close to the Springs. Either of the trails Joel recommended would be fine with me!

Where are these trails, they are not in my copy of CO B&4WD Trails?

Do we want a moderate, difficult, or easy trail?

I would love to try #59 Hacket Gulch or #58 Longwater Gulch

Both of these are difficult and look fun, but From the pictures I think the only prerequisites should be rock rails and full belly skids because of the mogul runs. Also both are dependent upon how high the Platte River is att he start of the trail as to wether we can cross or not. The book says in spring it could be impassible, but with the melting snow, I do not know how high it is.

Mt Baldy #61 is all right and rated as Moderate, but honestly I think KS2002KJ (Joe from KS) and I ran most of it in 2wd, so it should be rated as super easy...

I think everybody has pretty much done Mt. Baldy. I don't have much interest in doing it again.

As for where I found the two trails above...check out www.traildamage.com and www.4X4trails.net. They're on one or both of the sites.
