Events/Trails 10th Annual 100s in the Hills! *Silverton, Colorado July 22 - 27 2020*

Back when I had much worse taste in vehicles, I did the full alpine loop from Silverton over Cinnamon to Lake City then over Engineer to Ouray on AT tires, and managed not to get a flat until I got back to 550

How are the mosquitos at the camping spot? Asking for my 12-year-old daughter.

I don't remember myself or the kids ever getting a bug bite while at camp.

No, there aren’t sleepers in silverton

If you're camped near stagnant water, there will likely be some but it's not usually that bad, if any.

Probably more dogs and kids than skeeters

As someone that lives within ~60 miles of someplace that has an annual "Mosquito Festival"

The Great Texas Mosquito Festival

I didn't notice any biting insects around Silverton last year...

Sounds like a Mosquito Hunt is in order for the 11th annual event. Winner gets a free ... hub flange gasket from CruiserOutfitters, maybe?

I might be convinced to give one of my TechStream tablets, to whoever can find the most mosquitos in Silverton.

GAME ON

GAME ON

Any mosquitos carried in your vehicle, on the drive to Silverton are excluded.

Cheaters shall be hanged, gutted, drawn, and quartered medieval style. Just a suggestion.

You left out bled dry by mosquitos first.

Truth, no shortage of dogs and kids.

If you're camped right up against the pond that's south of the lodge, you will likely get a few bites. I did a few years back.

Probably more important to worry about getting one of the tickets to HIH, considering everyone from last year has a pass to this year considering last year didn't happen.

Mosquitos are minimal the years I've been there. Visit the beartooth mountains around the many lakes and you'll get ate up in June/July.

Once they are hanged, they couldn't care less about the other stuff!
Allegedly!

Had a spot when it got canceled last year, so I have a spot for this year (fingers crossed). What is the final day like? I think I remember reading a rough schedule somewhere in one of the ten HIH discussions, but I can't find it. Looking for details of what August 1 will look like. Going to be heading back to Denver to pick up the wife and visit my nephew at CU Boulder, and I wanted to make sure August 1 is the break down and head out day.

Looking like a couple days up in Boulder, then a couple days fishing down on the South Platte, then a couple days in Moab before we start heading home. Hopefully, a trip through the LC museum in SLC works out on the way home to Oregon.

Beginning to wonder if there will be an event this year. Hoping no news is good news. Wonder when we will hear yea or nay.

Final day is a mix of people heading out and people riding trails. One year we rode trails and then left that afternoon, the other year we stayed over night (until Monday) and then broke camp and left. I'd guess that somewhere around 75% of attendees are gone by Sunday night.
