In Search of Snow?!?

[Jim]

I'm thinking of checking out either Bunce/Ironclads or Rock Creek for snow conditions - this Saturday (Feb 15). Interested?

[Inkedrose]

Man I wish, I need to skip this weekend. Going with a buddy to look at a potential new Jeep for him. I'll drag him into this group once he's back up and running

[Ol Blue]

I am definitely interested, been way too long since the Jeep has been out

[TjMike]

Wish I could, family obligations...

[Tom]

Not me. Tires suck in snow as you may recall when you, I, and Trent(open_circuit) tried Rock Creek several years ago.

[Munzy]

Did you get out on the trail yesterday?

[Jim]

I didn't go. I dropped the ball - Steven showed interest.

There would have been snow!

Steven - and others - interest for this next Saturday Feb 22??

Weather shows it being warm and clear - Fort Collins Weather prediction:

[Ol Blue]

I might be able do Saturday Feb 22 if its earlier in the day and depending on the trail. Have to be in Windsor at 2 pm, which should be doable.

[Jim]

Looking at Bunce/Ironclads or Rock Creek. 2p in Windsor is a concern.

[Jim]

Let's look at times...

I leave FoCo at 8am. Lyons at 8:45am for a possible meet at Sandstone Park. Leave Lyons at 9a. Bunce north trailhead at 9:25. Air down / get moving 9:40a.

Bunce to Windsor looks like about 70 minutes - so 12:50p need to be headed towards Windsor - say 12:40p.

That has three hours for trail time. Seems tight - depending upon snow depth. We have several days to decide.

Saturday is not set in stone - Sunday is an option.

[Ol Blue]

Agreed not ideal. My schedule is wide open Sunday!

[Jim]

Sunday - Lyons Sandstone Park @ 9:30am? (if you're good with 10am, that'd be my pref)

[Ol Blue]

That works for me

[Jim]

Great! I'll stick it up.

Do you have a pref for trail? Bunce - south section for snow at the meadow and Ironclads or do Rock Creek instead? Does not matter to me.

[Ol Blue]

I'm up for anything as well. I've never been up Rock Creek before so I wouldn't mind checking that out if no one else has a preference

[Jim]

Then Rock Creek it shall be!

Old ski hill complex - way long ago - trees have reclaimed the area. Nothing (that I can tell) from looking at satellite images or being there indicate prior use.

Rock Creek is fairly close to Bunce (5.5 miles - Google Map). If Rock Creek is a bust we'll head back to Bunce / Ironclads.

Im down as a maybe. Need to get the kids taken care of.

[TjMike]

I'm out. Yesterday came out to a puddle of power steering fluid under the jeep.

I'll get the next one. Have fun!
