Denver, CO Mile High Meetup Thread

You think I could make this in 2wd? [emoji848]

Being that you're with a group, yes, but you'll probably need a tug in a few spots. The first time we ever ran this one, we did it solo and got stuck pretty good in one section. Rear diff was sitting on a rock and front tires were jammed against a large rock. We would have been fucked without the winch.

there were at least a dozen smaller water crossings, a couple of them pretty muddy. But maybe it has dried up?

They stay like that year round.

Doh! Although we were just there , my family wants to go back. However, we've got a cabin up at RMNP this weekend, and my Jeep probably won't be ready to wheel again until the following weekend. This is my daughter coming through the water crossing on 07/20/19.

Great shot. Looking at running Wheeler Lake that following weekend. You in?

 

[Slimebones]

See you guys between 9 & 10 then. CB channel 16. Weather forecast is great.

My daughter now has a sleepover the night before, so I probably wouldn't be able to reach Wheeler Lake until noon on the 10th. Maybe another time, thanks.

The Force is strong on this one. Takers?

Make it 8/17 and I'm in.

I’m going to leave home around 8am. Should be at the trail between 9:15-9:25am.

Jeff was the lone 4door today. An unusual sight these days ratio wise. Middle Saint Vrain/Coney Flats was a great way to spend a Saturday in Colorado. Lots more water than usual.

Didn't realize until we stopped for lunch that I was the only 4 door.

Wish I could have joined. I still hope to do it once this year. They're closing it early this year for some bridge repairs.

We'll join you guys for Wheeler Lake. That Saturday works good for us.

I can't seem to find the date. Any chance we could make it a Sunday? My wife works Saturdays.

I would assume since nobody answered you the first time the answer is no. You could start your own run on Sunday though.

Lol. The first time I asked was for a different trail. Doesn't hurt to try.

I hate to "host" runs, because my (non)schedule isn't consistent enough for me to make hard plans, but my wife now works Tuesday-Saturday. So Sundays and Mondays are the only the days she would be able to go with me. I do occasionally post a last minute heads-up to see if others can join.

Not sure where others stand on the date for Wheeler Lake. But only Saturday 8/17 works for me.
