Central City Area 2 Day Trail Runs - Tue & Wed Sep 8-9, 2015

[TxCowgirlInCo]

So, a few of us are planning on hitting a trail midweek if anyone would like to join. We're planning on trying to run a bunch of trails in the area around Central City. We're going to try to do Gamble, Mammoth, South Spring & Moon Gulches with other off shoot trails and exploring (maybe Kingston Peak). Nothing too technical or difficult. A few of us are going out Tue afternoon to start exploring and are staying overnight in Blackhawk. 96EXXLTinCo will be leading the run on Wed. Any ideas, thoughts or suggestions for other possible trails appreciated! If you get that mid-week 'bug' come play in the mud!!!

Depending on who's attending we can coordinate meet up locations & times as we want to accommodate anyone that would like to join! Post your availability here or PM me or 96EXXLTinCo and we'll figure out a meet-up location.

If you're thinking about staying overnight and don't feel like camping, let me know bc I have excellent corporate travel benefits and get great discounts on lodging.

Happy Wheeling! :)

I believe it's on the calendar correctly now, if not please let me know!

[TxCowgirlInCo]

So we'll be starting in Idaho Springs around 12:30pm and will run Oh My God & Russell Gulch into Central City on Tuesday. If anyone wants to do OMG with us we can meet in Idaho Springs at 12:30 then meet the others in Black Hawk or Central City.

Sometimes compasses and GPS''s malfunction and you end up a little further south than you intended. It's been known to happen.

[Aaron]

Where are you meeting in Idaho springs? I have a delivery coming this am but should be able to be there by 1230?

[Aaron]

Saw the calendar. Starbucks.

[96EXXLTinCO]

Saw the calendar. Starbucks.

They're prob still sleeping at the moment, I'll shoot em a text and see if their up and movin around, I'll be off work around 2 and headed up at that time. If you have a CB we've been using channel 7.

[TxCowgirlInCo]

Aaron,

PMing you my cell number. See ya there

[TxCowgirlInCo]

Crap Aaron !

We just had a bunch of dash lights come on. I don't think we're gonna make it out! I'm so sorry!

[TxCowgirlInCo]

We're still heading up to that area just later today. Aaron, I tried to find your number on the rescue list to call you ahead of time but didn't see you listed. If you call when you get there I can let you know where we will be if you still had out! So sorry!

[Aaron]

Sorry. My son is home fromantic college and we decided to do a hike instead. Hope you guys had fun!

[Chris]

fromantic college

I'm not familiar with that college Aaron. :D

We're back in the road in Hillary vehicle. My 4Runner will be camping at Toyota tonight. Thinking it's just an emissions issue hopefully. Think she's sucking air. But definitely don't want to see the below before hitting the trails. So 96EXXLTinCo will be leading the runs today & tomorrow so you can reach either of us.

Odd combination of lights there Leila, never seen both turn signal indicators on at the same time before. :erm:

Did you pull codes?

[Hypoid]

Wish I had looked at this earlier. Kingston Peak is pretty tore up from erosion this year. Even the illegal bypasses are being washed away. If you want to go see, start from Alice, you'll have the opportunity to see come great scenery before deciding if you want to turn around.

[sunk]

Where are you headed tomorrow?

[TxCowgirlInCo]

Where are you headed tomorrow?

Hey Sunk,

96EXXLTinCo saw the run you posted, so we're gonna run with you. Cancelling this run!

[sunk]

Just need a time to meet up

[96EXXLTinCO]

Just need a time to meet up

What time were you thinking of going? We're most the way there already. Safeway would be a good place to meet for Barbour.

[sunk]

10 am at Safeway sounds good to me!

[sunk]

Maybe 11 will work better

[TxCowgirlInCo]

Hey sorry. We've had some service issues. Would you be up for meeting at 12:30?

[sunk]

Shoot me a call 3032049822

[TxCowgirlInCo]

Ok, I'll have 96EXXLTinCo call you in just a few to coordinate as he's driving & coordinating..see you soon!

[sunk]

[sunk]

Ok
