Yankee Hill

[Aaron]

Anyone interested in another trek up to Yankee Hill on the weekend of the 30th? Either day works for me at this point and I'd really like to get to know the area since it is so close.

Update. This run is CANCELLED

[1freaky1]

i dont mind, ill have my winch on and we can push further. i am oncall though and if i get called ill have to take it. day run or night run?

[Aaron]

Daytime. I'm still a noob so lets do the daytime. Which day works better for you?

[WINKY]

friday would work best as i wont be oncall during that day but any day works man, friday sat sunday

[H3_Mafia]

I'm up for this if the majority picks Sunday.

I can't do Friday because of that whole job thing. Looks like H3 wants Sunday. Perhaps a 11:00 meeting time at the McDs in Idaho Springs again?

[Aaron]

Its on the calendar.

Get it done if you can. You have to pull us out of the snow;). Seriously though, you're the Yankee hill tour guide so we need you there.

[WINKY]

its really about a couple hours of welding and then an hour or two to mount it and wire it up and done.

How much snow is up there? Is it just on The Hill and is the trail relatively melted off?

[WINKY]

i might prerun if someone wants to go with... im sure much of it is melted with the weather being warm and sun weve been having...

[Chris]

I may be able to make this one. Can't commit quite yet though.

[H3_Mafia]

Look forward to doing this run again with you guys!

[WINKY]

hoping i can get my rig running today. i will work on it all day and tomorrow, i dont think it will be that much of a problem getting it going though. I will let you all know where i stand later.

All of the snow on the trail has melted. There are puddles but it is pretty dry.

[Aaron]

So, anyone interested in going on this run? I'd like to do this one since it is a bit milder than Chinaman Gulch but if the interest is low, then maybe I'll go on that one...

[WINKY]

It is. This one is for Sunday. It doesn't seem to popular right now so I may go see a plane crash...

So, what happened to Brutus?

[WINKY]

Yikes. That sucks. Well, and extra 350 foot lbs might make up for it.

As for Yankee, I was holding out hope but perhaps you are right.

[WINKY]

you can keep it up till the day before, whatever you feel, just would suck to have it up and you go on different trail. You can change the info for a different trail is fine :)

[Trailrat99XJ]

I am camping up that way Saturday night so if you guys decide to make this run I will be there!

[Aaron]

Maybe I was hasty with canceling it. Feel free to post a new one if you want.
