Colorado in Late June of 2011

O.K. I'll be in Breckenridge, Co. from June 26th thru July 3rd. I was wondering if anyone would like to do the Hagerman Pass day trip. I usually go to Leadville then across the pass & head back to I-70 on Lime Creek Rd. to Brush Creek Rd. thru Eagle, and back on I-70. We're also planning on doing the Buena Vista, Cottonwood Pass, Taylor Park Res., Tin Cup, St. Elmo, Nathrup Loop. Ive been to St. Elmo, but never around that loop. If you might be interested in showing the foreigners (from St. Louis, Mo) around, please shoot me an email. The wife & I usually go alone (w/ 2 dogs) & make a day of it. Might be nice to meet new trail riders who know their way around. Remember, I have to drive the Taco back home, (did Mosquito Pass last year), so can't do something like Black Bear, etc. Go to "superdave" to see what I'm driving.

Thanks, Dave

 

I'll see if we can get that week off. We were planning on spending a week around Taylor res. This summer too. Are you guys camping?

most definitely interested. Going to have to try to fit it in the schedule though. I'm going to Moab the wee before and to North Carolina July 2.'

 

Well poop, looks like we can't get that week off. But we can get the week before off. Looks like Jeff is Moab bound that week, hmmmmm wonder if the bumpers and sliders will be here by then? Like how I invited myself like that!

 

I told the wife we were going to sleep out one night between Breck & Keystone. She only camps out if there's a coffee pot, warm bath, & it's next to a restaurant.. I've tried to get her to sleep out for one night in the last 3 years with no luck. Maybe this year? We will definitely do Hagerman, Cottonwood, & maybe Georgia, (if I can find it) Got all the coordinates, but still aren't sure. Available for trails June 26 - July 3rd 'lemme know if you can show us around.

 

Where are you trying to camp between Breck and Keystone? There is a camp ground site on lake Dillon but thats about it I think.

 

I'd love to join. I have family coming in (from Kirkwood, MO) sometime that week so I can't commit til I know their plans but I'll let you know for sure as it gets closer.
