CO Fall Colors run?

[hvac man]

Sorry Rick I meant the Crystal Mill near marble.

 

[MARTY196]

okay, so where is the meeting place on saturday morning going to be ?

 

[hvac man]

I would like to know where and when to meet also.

 

[mrboyle]

How about we meet at the Conoco station in Ridgeway at 8:15 (as Brian suggested ). For thoes staying at my parent's place, this means we will need to leave there no later than 7:45 (its a 20-30 minute drive, depending on the condition of the road).

 

[mrboyle]

Rick,
Name the time and place and I'll do everything in my power to be there.

 

[hvac man]

Sounds good Mike I'll see you there 8:15 Conoco in Ridgway.

Okay this is my last post before I leave. Lets just say to meet in Ridgway at the gas station on the right hand side of the road headed to Ouray. It is at a traffic light and last time I was there it was the only station in the area. For time lets say 8:15-8:20. That way we can get on the trails by about 8:45-9. CB channel 1.
(Edit: Mike beat me to it )

Just finished hooking up my winch and putting on my new bumper tonight, going to load up tomorrow and get into Ridgway Friday night hopefully between 9-10. See you guys Saturday!

Mike, I'm not going to commit until we get our camper back from the factory. I am hoping that won't be more than another week or two. After that we're good to make some plans.

Sounds good.

P.S. Did you tell the camper manufacturer to reinforce the s#!^ out of it

Oh yea, Got a call from David (AspenX) this morning (8:15 M.S.T.). He was in Amarlio (sp?), TX and heading this way, still planning to be at my parent's place tonight (after driving though to Glenwood Springs, then back to Colona). I don't know what it is about thoes crazy Jarrett boys

Humph! I'm pissed!


You guys have a good time and take lots of pics for me.

If a small group is going for a colors run II later in Sept. I will try and make it. I will be back in CO Sept 8.

The later we wait the more chance there is for snow. That would make things interesting.

Im Back! What an awesome time. I will put up some pics and video later in a different post.

We did:

Saturdays Trails:
Part of Engineer Pass
3/4 of Poughkeepsie Gulch (in the Rain!!)
(After numerous attempts at the last obstacle by hvac man and Mrboyle we all turned around and went back to Engineer and back down Engineer. All lines were very slippery with mud)
Yankee Boy Basin

Sunday's Trails:
Corkscrew Gulch
California Gulch
Minnie Gulch
Maggie Gulch

Mondays Trails:
Black Bear and Imogene (Mrboyle and AspenX did this today as far as I know)

Only carnage that I know of was a busted hub at the major obstacle on Poughkeepsie Gulch.

Hey guys I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who made the trip. I had a great time and can't wait to do it again. I hope to see everyone in moab.

Marty did you make it home alright, hopefully not in first gear

Mike thanks for putting us up at your parents place that worked out great.

How depressing... I missed two great runs this weekend

Sounds like you guys had a blast!

 

[Brian1]
