apex-kingston-yankee hill report

[Tom]

Great day wheeling with Shawn. Waited for James but he never showed hope everything is ok.

Sunny all day but windy and cold along the top of Kingston. Pics will have to wait until Monday.

Here's our track.

TOM - Replied to your PM with the fun details but in short I was 5min behind you but couldn't catch up. Did get over Kingston but had car trouble on the way home. Oh well...Kingston was great. Wish I could have done it with you.

ps- for those that don't already know, there is no gas in Central City or Blackhawk. Have to drive back toward Golden, Rollinsville or Idaho SPrings. that is why I was late.

At the switchback at 2:45 in the vid there was an orange jeep parked that I could see the entire time getting up to that point that I thought might be you. turned out to be a 4dr JK so out of luck. The section just after that was the most challenging. A guy in a stock 4runner got up with no problems but took a few attempts at it.

Here is my one photo that I took - James Pk to right and Mt Bancroft to left:
