Well, come to find out, we have a scout camp out on the 5/6th.
Since it is a Saturday run, could we start late? maybe a 1130/12 meet up instead of 8?

also, can I get an address for the conoco in bailey? I probably know where you are talking about, but do not remember.
Our camp out is on the Academy, and I can get out of there by around 10, so I may be able to do a little earlier depending on the travel time to the conoco.

So what do you all think, and if so, who is going?

Ted, it's about 1.5 hours to Bailey, and with your brakes, do not take your jeep. I did this trail several years ago with new brakes, and I was standing on my brake peddle going down. The slope of my windshield on the XJ is 45*, and the graduation tassles that were hanging from the rear view mirror were laying flat on the windshield. Wish I had brought a crowbar to pry the seat from my crack. Have fun gents, been their, done that, not going again. Nothing really wrong with the trail, but I have a big phobia of edges, and the whole ridge of red cone up the easy side and down the steep side was one big edge to me. The off camber washout going down the steep side really flexed up my XJ and that got pretty creepy. Biggest thing I recommend is check your brakes. If you have any doubt about your brakes, don't do it. Brakes are cheaper than medivacs and funerals.

:lol: Funny. Bailey doesn't even have a traffic light. You'll have no problem finding the gas station.

60597 Us-285, Bailey, CO

Have fun guys, I'm with Marty - and will be out of State. Take lots of pics, just not while driving! :wink:

I think if we start @ 11 or 12 it will get dark before we finish and I think that's a little dangerous,so we should stick with 8am if that's cool with everyone.what do we all think?as far as address of the conoco,I don't know but I hear its the only one up there.I think there is about 2or3 of us going,does anyone have a trail book,I can't find mine.

OK, guys
After looking over my brakes and front end I think it would be safer for me to pass on this one anyway.
Have fun. Boy can Inot wait to get this SFA done so I can wheel some good stuff!!! Wheeling the HMMWV for the last 6 months was just not good enough :roll:

I did Red Cone in the late 70's in a CJ. I remember going down in low range first gear and being told not to hit the brakes till you get down! I also remember the trail to get there was very rough with a a lot of trees. That was a long time ago and the trail may be better now. I hope you guys post a lot of pictures!

Instead of meeting in bailey we could all meet @ 470 and morrison rd.at the conoco right there as your heading up the road to bandimere speedway west of 470 @ 9:00.Im just trying to think of a place that's easier to find.I think everyone knows were Bandimeme is.What does everyone think?
