Tim/Sparky we can meet near FoCo and caravan down to the 470/285 meeting spot if you want.
We need to decide on a time for Saturday morning, I'd prefer earlier but Tim will be driving down from Cheyenne, so we may not want to make it tooo early.
Would anyone be interested in finding a place to camp Saturday night?

This is a great trail if you're looking for a lot of flex. The "whoopdeedoos" (dirt moguls that twist your suspension) found through the entire trail are challenging to a stock vehicle, especially if your sway bar is not disconnected.
Directions:
Turn right on Park County Road 43 off of Highway 285 about 24 miles from Denver. Follow this road northeast for just over 6 miles and turn left on Saddlestring Road. Turn left right away on FSR101. You'll see the steel Slaughterhouse Gulch sign just after 2 miles.
