Breckenridge Peak 10 & Mosquito Pass 8/16

[alexb]

Saturday 8/16

Looking to run Breckenridge Peak 10 and Mosquito Pass.

I'm thinking of meeting at the Walmart in Frisco. Does 10 am work? Earlier? Later?

Peak 10 is open to the top now. Was up there on Saturday.

[alexb]

Glad to hear! :) Should be fun.

[Talus]

Looks like fun- I haven't gotten out all year. :rolleyes: Hopefully we can make it, will know as time gets closer!

[Tom]

Thinkin about it. Long drive for a day trip from Longmont.

OK I am going to try to get in on this. Peak10 is way up on my list. Now its open and I want to do it! :steer:
There are two good FR4x4 runs two days in a row.
I might just do the first half with you all and then head towards Idaho Spgs to camp, meet up with everyone for Devil's Canyon the next day. After we run Peak 10 you can head West I'll head East, or something like that.

I want to do Mosquito Pass but I'll probably do it another time or in the other direction - from Leadville to Alma.

What was it?????????

[ZukiTony]

I ran mosquito yesterday afternoon in my stock 4runner. It is beautiful up there right now. For scenery this trail is one of the best I have run yet. I would do it again with you guys but I will be on the east coast next weekend:frown:

[alexb]

What was it?????????

It was just adjustment. We practically had to take out the adjustment screw to make it work.

I felt silly but am grateful for Bob's help. :)

[Tom]

Early forecast shows only a 10% chance of showers with a high of 75 in Breck in Sat. Woohoo

[Fireball]

Looking forward to meeting up with you all, and the view from Peak 10. :bowdown:

I'm thinking the same thing. Perhaps either camp or stay with family in S/W Denver (vs. trekking back up to FoCo).

Looking forward to meeting y'all as well! Does anyone have an SWR meter they wouldn't mind bringing? I put a CB in the 4Runner this week (nothing fancy, just a Cobra 75wxst and a Little Wil mag mount antenna) but figure it would be good to try to tune it to get the best out of it.

I have one, but I will be at Devil's Canyon on Sunday.

I am going to try to get to the meeting location 1/2 hour early. Might be the best time to tune it.

[Diamond_D]

Sounds great, thanks a lot!

[Tom]

Just have to throw in the cooler and camera.
Out the door by 7:30AM latest.
Excited. Thanks Alex.

[Jim]

Alex, where are you planning to stay Saturday night?

I'm tossing about staying overnight and joining on the Webster/RedCone.

[Goofy]

count me in but I cant run my cb due to back door stuck shut now and the antenna all busted up and the cable is bad

Sign up on the calendar above.

[Fireball]

After dinner I'm getting a full tank of gas. Should be good to go for the morning. Is 7:30AM the time to leave Denver tomorrow to make it to Frisco Walmart by 10?
I-70 scares me with the traffic - CAN'T count on it at all :erm:

[Tom]

Google says 2 hrs from Longmont. I'm hoping to be there at 9:30 thus leaving at 7:30.

[Jim]

GMaps says 2h8min from FoCo. I plan to leave here at 7a with some slack / kick-back / chat time at Frisco.

I'm planning an out-n-back day (no overnight with Sunday trails in the area).

[Fireball]

Good morning everyone. It looks like its going to be a perfect day! :steer:Drive safely... see you at Walmart in Frisco...

[Tom]

Up, awake, gassed, cooler and camera packed, heading out in 15, @7:05

[alexb]

See you all soon
