Upcoming Colorado Events

I like that. Probably going to steal it uptill I get caught.

 

Well since were in the area, anything around there sounds good. I was leaving it up to where ever the wind takes us. Lol

 

Updated!

What:
Red Cone Clean-Up Run

- There are many downed trees on Red Cone, a trail many of us like considerably, causing "Special Individuals" to go off trail/un-official routes on Red Cone. We plan to clean the trail and block any unauthorized bypasses in order to prevent the trail from getting shut down or other unfavorable outcomes.

When:
Thursday, July 4th
1100 Meet up

Camping through the weekend!
Any trails in the area?


Where:
Conoco
60597 US Hwy 285, Bailey, CO 80421

Comms:
HAM - RS2 (146.580)
CB - Channel 5

Helping links/comments:
- This is a clean-up run of Red Cone. There will be downed tree's, washed out sections, snow etc. The goal is the clear as much of the trail as possible, without putting ourselves in "Unsafe" situations because of trail conditions.
- Bring Chainsaws, Shovels, Winches if you have them, Work Clothes/Gloves
- Bring plenty of water/snacks/food. Weather is looking to be in the mid-high 70's and sunny. So dress accordingly.
- If you want to, you can rent tools (Chainsaws) from Home Depot

- Technical Rating: (DIFFICULT - SEVERE) --- Do not let this deter you from helping out, if you are stock and want to help out, many of us will gladly let you ride in our trucks from the trail head.

1 idk about that early of a meet up time....
2 who all is still planning on going and bring a chain saw?[/QUOTE]

 

I’m down for a Friday and/or Saturday camping once locations get established. I’ll likely get off work a little early on Friday so I could probably get there at a decent time.

Edit: I have a chainsaw

 

My buddy did totw in a stock Tacoma ...stock skids were trash after it tho.

 

I ran it last year with my family just our taco. Nothing to crazy you could definatly get your self into trouble, I ran some crazy lines knowing that my good friend WARN would help if needed.

 

I was fine on TotW with basically bone stock (just slightly better/bigger tires) until I got to the ledges. And while I probably could have gotten up and down them with minimal damage, it would have taken more time and effort than it was worth for the time we had, so we just walked the last bit. As I recall there were only one or maybe two other places where it would have been just as iffy, but still doable. Thing is, trail conditions can change, so it may be easier or harder right now than when I ran it.

 

I think it's called Dolores Overlook. The trail head isn't far from the Dewey bridge and the views rival that of TOTW.

 

Updated!

Anyone else???

If anyone wants to come meet up and camp the rest of the weekend. I’ll have my aprs running. It’ll get ya close enough to us for radio contact on rs2^
Go to aprs.fi and search my trucks call sign K0EAF-9 that’s a zero not o.

 

I'm not planning to head up red cone but will probably join you guys for camping depending where you land.

 

Ya missed my update about my aprs running. Lol

 

Looking in/around Fairplay, for Thursday night at least. @Stig old stomping ground.

There is a "Dark zone" near Buffalo Springs Camp Ground I was looking at.

 

Buffalo Springs CG is supposedly the base of operations for re-seeding burn area from last year. It’s only maybe 3-400 yards from Hwy so not sure what you’re looking at.

 

I'm more going for "Less light pollution than everyone around it"

 

I decided to head to red cone with the family to see if we can help out. If we dont catch you at Sunoco well meet at the trail.

 

Where’d y’all wind up?

 

Last beacon location from a few hours ago

 

We’re heading to Gunnison.
Still on aprs and rs2

 

10-4. I doubt I will make it that far west at this point but Ill let yall know if I change my mind.

 

Change of plans. We’re in BV. Camping here and rafting tomorrow @8am
