Idaho Springs start to Jenny Creek end 7-11-2015

[Tazer]

So I was thinking of trying the Idaho Spring to Rollinsville again, but ending at Jenny's Creek instead. Would anyone else be game?

Start in Idaho springs meeting at the closed forest service building just off the highway. From there we will take O My God road (I think Twin Brothers is closed due to pipe work) to central city. From there we will head up to Yankee hill taking bald mountain road. From Yankee hill we will take Miners Gulch to Broomfield Gulch road to Apex Valley Road. We will take Apex rd. to 119 up to Pickle Gulch. We will connect with Moon gulch and follow that down to Rollinsville, Then over to Jenny's creek for a finish. Probably stop at Pickle for lunch.


Start time 9 am? I am open for other times.

I could kind of sort of maybe, depending on scheduling...

[CrazySanMan]

I'm game, though I'm a little uncertain of Jenny Creek since my FJ is stock height.

Iv wheel with stock FJ's up there.
You'll do fine !

[Aaron]

It's a possibility. I'd likely shorten the day a bit and not do Jenny. Depends on what time it is.

I think that's the great thing about a run like this...plenty of opportunity to head home early if needed. just run as many sections as you'd like, then head out!

I don't think I'll be able to make this one as we've got guests visiting, but if you need any help with navigation, I did run Pickle to Gamble Gulch on Monday. it wasn't quite the route I was originally looking for (specifically, I didn't hook up with Moon Gulch), but then again, I wasn't really trying either...

I'm a maybe, I won't know until that Friday, but it looks like fun. :thumb:

[CrazySanMan]

I'm in.

[Aaron]

Probably time for an official run on the calendar.

[fredrok]

Any chance anyone wants to do this run during the week; like 7th, 8th, 9th or 10th?

Might be a possibility.

[wuan2000]

I might be able to join too. I'll work on the schedule.

[sdswingr]

Also a quick question, is Jenny doable in my stock JKU willy's?

I would be interested if we do the 8th

[sdswingr]

Same here.

[mattzj98]

Jenny creek is not doable at the moment. At least our two high power rigs on 40s were not successful

[sdswingr]

Too much snow or water?
Maybe we can do this minus Jenny Creek..

[mattzj98]

I just posted a trail run report from there. Major snow droft, never got to the creek

[Mark]

Keep me posted! I may be up for a run anytime after we'd.probabley not jennys creek tho

[sdswingr]

So...then...are the five of us in or out minus Jenny Creek? July 8

My name is Kurtis I ran Jenny Creek three weeks ago I made it about a mile from the top a lot of winching Alot of snow I did a lot of tree damage to my jeep while I did it but I was by myself if you have more than one vehicle you might be able to make it up

[wuan2000]

I can't do the 8th (work). I could probably do the 11th as originally posted.

[Mark]

Okay iam game for wed run.just won't do Jenny creek but up for the rest.so if we're going lets get it on the calendar so we can get a number.

[sdswingr]

Sounds good...it looks like a long day with all the trails...what do you think about a start time?

I'm in

[FINOCJ]

Just got my points re-installed and some tune work done. New plugs tomorrow and drive it around for a bit. Would be nice to join you guys, and maybe a with a jeep that likes to start this time. Once the run is posted I'll rsvp if I am good to go asap - and I might have to cut out a little early, like after Yankee Hill.

cheers

Good deal, hope you'll make it

[78bj40]

Do you guys want to meet at Starbucks in Idaho Springs at 9:00?

[sdswingr]

I was thinking a bit earlier due to it being about 25 miles of trail, plus some mileage in between..maybe 7 or 8?
Also added it to calendar

[sdswingr]

ok, let's plan on 9 then

9:00 is the earliest I can do

[Mark]

Well 930 or ten is fine ,let some of the rush hour get out of the way.might be good to just meet at Carl's jr.thats closer to the start of Virginia canyon rd.we can go til mid afternoon and see how far we get.

[Mark]

If your cool with that start time put it on the calendar we,lol see who all wants to go!ok iam on calendar,didn't see it at first.someone else said after nine was better.iam coming out of Lakewood.so let me know what time by tomorrow.

[sdswingr]

Yeah, I put it on the calendar already...I think starbucks is a fine meeting place, as it is right off the hwy..plus really, Idaho springs is like a half mile long, I think we can handle the pavement for that long.. we met there last week at 9am, and there was basically no traffic getting there from Denver/Aurora

[Mark]

That's cool with me nine am at Starbucks!

[fredrok]

Repeat from calendar:

Thanks for picking up the ball on this Tim. Sorry for late response; looooooong day. Starbucks @ 9am. All: keep in mind the twin tunnel lane closures ~ delays.

[FINOCJ]

points are in, new plugs and engine retuned. haven't driven it much yet but am busy all afternoon into evening. I'll rsvp as maybe and tomorrow's drive up to Idaho Springs will be the test. Going to try and lean the idle mix screws tomorrow once up in Idaho Springs for the increased elevation and see if that helps idle and start as well.

[fredrok]

On my way, may be 5-10mins late
