Hey everyone, how about 9:30 at the Minturn Shell station for a meeting point and last gas up and we'll drive into the trailhead from there.

How far is the Shell station from the trail head? Looks to be about 30 minutes?

I mean we could meet at the trailhead if you want, I just figured that was the last place on pavement for supplies that people would probably stop anyway if needed. I'm actually come from Buena Vista so I can meet at the trailhead as well if you'd prefer.

I was just trying to figure out total time, etc. Your location in Minturn is fine.

We keep talking about it, so this is my attempt to get it done. We're taking on Holy Cross. July 20. We may or may not camp out there before or after so let me know if you're interested in that.

I wanted to start a thread to start the planning ahead of time.

MEETING LOCATION AND TIME: 9:30am at the Minturn Shell station for a meeting point and last gas up and we'll drive into the trailhead from there.

We will be coming from Leadville so will meet you at the trailhead at 10:00. That way I am not backtracking. Any earlier than than would actually work great also

Saturday is coming soon guys. Just a reminder, it is highly advised to have at least 35" tires, at least one locker, a winch and tow points. French Creek is no joke and has some rather large bolders!

Shit. I'd better reconsider. Might have to leave the Mini Cooper at home then.

Should we just meet at the trailhead at 930-10 then? Sounds like we're all in different directions, and it sounds like onlyone and harker1 live near there.

I was wondering about the lockers. Have all that but the lockers. Can always stop at the creek. That is I can. Was thinking that anyway since don't have skids on the sliders yet. Anyway see ya'll at trail head.

Man... you guys are going to have an awesome time. My wife has business in Boulder Friday to Saturday, so that means I have business in Boulder. 🤔 We're going to try to wrap up early on Saturday and head out to MSV / Coney Flats and maybe T-33. Anyways, wheel safe. Hope to see a trip report, and maybe a few pics if somebody gets a chance. 🍻
