Thanks for posting, Chris. I'll mark it on my calendar.

[Jim]

I went in search of a map. Nothing conclusive but these links might give some insight:

[Chris]

Oops, I left out the site LaDawn mentioned for reference: http://www.estes.org

[Brad]

I will be there.

[Rob]

Count me in.

[Squshiee1]

I will also be there.

I won't be able to make it, though I wish I could. Have signed up to ride in the MS150 bike ride that weekend. Thinking that may be the dumbest thing I've done in a long time...

[Jackie]

Chris, do you know if LaDawn booked the area it as a private event? Also, do you think it should be posted as a "run"? We could try to incorporate an early run on Pole Hill or something before the pot-luck LaDawn is planning if she is cool with that. This would have to be totally up to her. Maybe it's not appropriate - (I don't know). If it is posted as a "run", then we can coordinate with each other better.

Thoughts???

[Chris]

I have no idea Jackie, I got a brief e-mail with what I posted. I believe Jeff/Patrolman may have more idea since he talked to her fairly recently. I included her phone number so anyone can call for more info, I'm not in communication with her myself.

As far as a run that's up to the Admin, not me. ;)

[Jackie]

As far as a run that's up to the Admin, not me.

It's really up to LaDawn, I would think. It would be kind of cool to have his rig leading the run (regardless of who is driving it) if it isn't sold by then...

[Chris]

Again, I don't know. I imagine there will be people from his family, his neighborhood, climbing buddies, construction friends, etc. If people want to do something leading up to what LaDawn plans I don't she'd care one way or another.

[The StRanger]

Sounds like fun to me
Hope I have that weekend off ..

[4Runninfun]

I'll be there for sure.

[glacierpaul]

I hope we can make this, will plan for it!!

Miss ya Pete!!

[SCRubicon]

Thanks for the info Chris.

[Bunyon & Babe]

Saw LaDawn on Tuesday and she told us CT, Petes climbing partner and longtime friend, is helping her arrange all of the location ,etc for the day . Really nice guy if you have not met him yet . LaDawn also said CT might be thinking of a "memorial climb" before the pot luck so maybe it woul be cool to have a run before the pot luck too .
Two things Pete loved to do , going on in the same area ,on the same morning that all his friends / family are getting together in his memory ? Maybe that would all work , ? just a thought

[Rob]

maybe it woul be cool to have a run before the pot luck too

We could do a run on Pole Hill first. Or run Pierson Park from Colo 7 to Estes.

[Aaron]

I won't be able to make this run as I won't be in the country. I really wish I could be there.

[Java]

If I can I will be there, will know closer to the time.

[94ToyBear]

For now count me in!

[GaryG]

planning to be there

[Geno]

I will be there and Robert B also. We can attend the celebration but probally will not be able to attend the trail run as we will drive up one of the cars, to save gas and it is a long drive for us :)

[88Toy]

This could be my first run with you guys and I can't think of a better theme behind it, a shake out run for the truck in the name of Pete!

[Rick]

just put it on the Calendar ; Hopefully we can make it

[Patrolman]

Anyone have any updates for this? I haven't gotten details from LaDawn about any times, etc. I can try to find out if we don't already have the info.

[Chris]

It would probably be good if you contact LaDawn and see if there's any plans.

[Pathrat]

It is on my calendar.

[94ToyBear]

Anyone know if Pete's Rig is going to be there ? I'm willing to help get it running if it is not running at the moment. ?

[xaza]

Last I knew his rig was for sale, Craigslist posting is gone now.

[Rick]

Looking like I can make this...... Are we just going to show up then possibly do a trail run or are we still in the dark?

[Patrolman]

I just got an email from LaDawn. It is going to be at 11AM or 1PM, they are just trying to figure out the details. It will be picnic style, bring your own food. I will post more as I hear it.

[Brad]

I told work I needed the day off, plan on being there!

[Chris]

There's always a contrarian, I won't be there.

[Patrolman]

There's always a contrarian, I won't be there.

Nobody is perfect. :)

[javaman34]

Count me in. I didn't know Pete, but from I've read on here I wish I would have.

[94ToyBear]

Still in. Another buddy who knew pete is planing on it as well.

[Jackie]

Looks like I won't be able to make this but I really wish I could. I miss Pete. (Family matters have to come first and right now I'm being pulled in three different directions:rolleyes:).

You guys really should plan a trail run in front of the event that morning. I think Pete would have liked it that way...

My condolences to all who knew him. Try to enjoy the day.

[Rick]

Not able to make it

[Brad]

I have the day off and still plan on attending.

[Java]

looks like I'm working

[Patrolman]

I am planning to be there. May have the family with me, so a trail run may not be possible for me. Anyone know if one is planned?

[Chris]

I don't think there's one planned Jeff, there was talk early on but it didn't develop. I think CT (Pete's climbing buddy) may have a climb planned though...

[Jim]

I could see folks running Pole Hill - it's danged close and not overly long. Any interest in that?

[Jackie]

For those of you able to attend, you should plan a run for either Pole hill, or Pierson park Rd. prior to the event. (These suggestions were previously mentioned so there might be some interest in forming a small group. All it would take is for someone to post it as a RUN). I'm out - or I would have posted a run for Pierson Pk Rd...

[Rob]

Johnny Park's the first trail I ran with Pete, so I'd be up for a run there beforehand. If there's enough interest, I'll post it.

[Jackie]

Sweet! Do it!

[Jim]

Sure thing Rob, stick it up.

[Brad]

I'd be up for that!

[xaza]

oh man I am glad I re-read this thread, was thinking this was in July. Going to try to be there but it is the wife's birthday this weekend

[Funrover]

I will be doing a run/camping up there this weekend. Others are welcome to join the camping portion.

[Rick]

but it is the wife's birthdayHappy Birthday Leslie

[Jim]

From LaDawn...

Saturday June 29, 2013

The pastor will be there early so if any one wants to share stories about Pete, feel free to speak with him.

Memorial will be at 2:00 pm

1700 Fish Hatchery Road, Estes Park

Pot luck style

[Funrover]

Johnny Park's the first trail I ran with Pete, so I'd be up for a run there beforehand. If there's enough interest, I'll post it.

I'm in for that!

[94ToyBear]

I'm still in but cant make a trail run. I will have my 1 year old son with me. Cya up there.

[Jackie]

OMG - my big girl just stepped up to the plate. Looks like I can go! She's got the rest of my bases covered for the day...

[Jim]

WhooHoo!! :thumb:

[Brad]

I'm in for that!
That would be the first trail we have been on together since I joined. :thumb:

[javaman34]

See you all there. Won't be doing the run. The old girl isn't up to par yet to take on a run.

[88Toy]

I have to miss this one, we're dealing with a big mess in Black Forest. Take lots of pictures!!!

[94ToyBear]

What time is everyone else going to be there ?

[javaman34]

Murphy's Law. Coming home from work and started smelling gas. Got home and found the injectors leaking fuel. Guess I'm out on this one. Sucks, I really wanted to go. Thanks a lot Murphy.

[Rick]

Sucks, I really wanted to go.catch a ride with someone

[javaman34]

I would, but I have to get it done this weekend. Daily driver and all. I would take the wife's car, but she will have it in Nebraska.

[Rick]

bummer

[Rob]

What time is everyone else going to be there ?

Those of us running Johnny Park in the morning likely will get there between noon and 1 p.m.

[javaman34]

Maybe I can get it done early and just show up a little late. Guess I'm getting up early tomorrow morning and hitting the garage.

[Patrolman]

I am leaving from Morrison. Hoping to do the trail ride, so leaving around 7-7:30AM. If anyone needs a ride, give me a ring. 72oh-tutu4-6397. I will have 3 empty seats.

[Jim]

Not sure if this would be best in a "trail run report" or this thread. I'll stick it here...

LaDawn sent this out to a bunch. A good read - written by Julia, Peter's sister from the Celebration.

[94ToyBear]

Just wanted to say thanks to Petes good buddy CT for offering some of Petes things left to him. My 1 year old son was dance'n to petes music as his party and CT offerd some of petes thing and lots of music was one of them so I figured in get some music for my son and I...... little did I know Pete had a bad A$$ music collection ! Both my son and are are enjoying it to the fullest. And thank you Pete ill take care of the 100 plus cds ! (Shoulda pick all of them) hope someone else is enjoying the rest !

[Patrolman]

I got a great hiking trail book for Zion and Bryce. I have always wanted to go there. Now I have a great reason! Thanks to CT, Pete will be with me on my hikes.

[Chris]

Yeah, Pete left a big pile of 4x4 books, maps, magazines, etc for me. He had nice stacks of stuff in his garage tagged for different people. As we all know Pete was a detail guy and he carried through this attention to detail to the end.

I'll take another look through what he left me and see if I have any dupes left, I think I already gave those away.

[Brad]

I got a few books, couple rock climbing books he wrote, probably never use them but Neil might! :thumb:
