4th of July in the San Juans

Going to be wheeling the usual passes in and around Silverton, Durango, Telluride and Ouray
Anyone going to be in area or wanna join?

June 28th - July 5th

Were base camping out of Ouray
3-4 Rigs with a group of 6-8 and 2 dogs

Here is the tentative plan if anyone is in the area and wants to join up

 

I'll be up there those same dates with the wifey & 2 kiddos. I have all the same trails on my list. We should meet up.

 

Heck yea, you guys camping out?

Edit:
Saturday june 28 we should be rolling into Durango around noon, and were going to hit the SKA brewery for a few hours, stock up on beer and drive up the Notch, join up!

 

We are coming at it from the other direction. We should be in Lake City by noon on Thursday 26th. Going to hang around there and fish the Lake Fork & Big Blue and should be working our way west by Saturday. I'll post up a plan when I get it put together. We are mostly camping. The wife insists on a hotel and a hot shower every 3 or 4 days. Where is Pine Top?

 

Pinetop is in AZ, we have a cabin there it a littlbe less than halfway for our drive.

Yep, the hot showers every night is a big thing for the girls on our trip. Thats why we are base camping outside of Ouray, the hotsprings have hot showers and are open till 8 everyday. 15$ a person, you get to soak in some hot sulfur free water, then shower every night. Check it out when you hit Ouray.

 

Here's our plan:

(Edit: That didn't paste very good. Hope the photo uploaded)

Would be nice to hit some trails with your crew and kill a few beers. My boys are 4 & 6, so anything we do is a bit of a circus. I doubt we get everything done that's on the list, but we'll be camping out of a RTT so we are pretty flexible.

 

Sweet! Looks like we can link up Mon/Tues ish and hit those trails!!
I'll PM you my number
We got a group of 4 Young Men and 2 rigs, we all graduated College about ~3-4 years ago, were not rowdy, just fun!

Where you planning on catching the fireworks?
We are planning to catch the display in Silverton, you can start up the Kendle Mountain road and itll get you to some nice spots for watching em, and doing some grilling and drinkin

 

We had planned on heading south to Platoro on the 4th. But my oldest had a meltdown about missing "Firecracker Day" last night. We will probably join you guys above Silverton. We are heading out in the morning. See you soon.

 

Man a week earlier and me and the wife would meet up. We'll be rolling into Ouray on the 5th and doing many of the same trails ya'll will be on over the next week.

 

FYI does not look like black bear will be open any time soon. Some pics from today

 

Thanks for the heads up on that, guess that decision has been made for us.
