Cascade Creek/Saxon Mtn October 16th

[Brad]

Looking for any interest in this run.

Run up Cascade creek and come down saxon mtn. Or run the Cascade loop and hit a spur or 2 (not spring creek ;) )
After, those who are interested hit up some dinner in Idaho springs on the way down.

Meet up around 9am.

it would hinge greatly on if i can get the blazer plated and insured by then and fix a few more things on it but if i can make it it would be fun <edit> do you know if the shelf roads on the one that has them are tiny or decent size...i did upgrade to fullwidth now..

[Brad]

I don't see a shelf road listed on either map.

Saxon's where the Jeep went over the edge a month or so, search for the thread and there's god info on the current conditions. It's generally very easy and scenic but may have some washouts from what I recall.

[Brad]

There are warnings of washouts during spring thaw. Nothing I have heard or read lately. Again. We can always change it up. Cascade has lots of play areas.

[Funrover]

I'll talk to the better half and see what plans we have

[Aaron]

Call me a definite maybe!

Last time I ran Saxon a full size could fit just fine. However, Saxon is probably the #1 trail on the list of trails I would prefer not to drive again. And heights dont bother me at all, its just that its all bouncy rocky stuff the hole way and not a ton of fun IMO.

[Chris]

Yeah, it's definitely one of those "air down for comfort" trails. Reminds me of Mt. Antero, easy but rocky as can be...

[Brad]

Winky just posted mosquito pass too and that is another run I would like so if there is more interest in that run we could go that route. ;)

Ooh. That's one I wanna do!

[Brad]

Alright, I decided to go mosquito pass. Join up, let's get more of us on the same run!:thumb:

On the switchbacks a bit of a warning..... Not sure of exact local on the road but there is a HUGE POINTY rock the will make the FULL SIZE guys pucker a bit. I have full width Wagoneer axles and was unfortunate to go down that with only rear brakes ( cut a line the the rock garden ) and when i was going by it i had a rock kick my front to the right and only had half a tire on the road. Wife did not say much till a few days later of what it looked like from her view.......
