EDIT!!
IT'S ON! THIS SATURDAY 6/17/23.
Saturday meetup spot is Town Pump in Boulder at 10am
(that's 0-10 hundred if I got that right). Can't really miss it. But if you need coordinates: 46.24407, -112.11690
Let's all try to meetup at the Town Pump. Get gas, have coffee, wait for other 40s to meander into town. I'm not expecting a parade of 40's but let's face it, some of us may need a little time to get to town, and quart of oil and cuppa Joe (and probably a number 2) when we make it. We can all air down there. Only a few hundred feet of pavement and it's all dirt from there on.
@pigmony is correct. Trail starts a little East of town here: 46.22881, -112.06931
So if you're running really late, or like to get a head start, you can catch the wagon trail there around 10:15 or so.
Here's the important part. Bring a radio. Ham 146.460. GMRS/FRS channel 7. Can't find us? Running late? Need a new voltage regulator (@bagochips76), then radio up. We'll be on the horn. @pigmony and I are Ham snobs (same with @elkun1) so that's probably the best. For those of you who have my cell number, we'll have reception in Boulder. For those of you who need my cell number, send me a PM.
Other stuff.
1. If you're coming, let us know and post up so we can expect you (and wait for you). 40's Only Run is about hangin' out together, no man left behind. If you have troubles, no worries, you're among friends. And if your Autobahn limit is 45, no worries. Take your time, have fun getting to town.
2. If you're camping. Post up. Not required but could be fun. I will be camping either solo or with at least one passenger Friday night, maybe Saturday. Let's not complicate the run with a long list of camping spots. But post up if you're camping and join others. (I'll be South of Boulder, will add to next post). Maybe you can even crash in @3_puppies back yard amongst the 45's and absorb some history.
3. If you're on the fence, please join. This is one of the funnest things you can do with your 40. Nothing can compare to wheelin' your 40, with other 40's. It's rad!
4. Read the previous posts about McCarty Creek. @JohnnyOshow22 says it's fun and doable stock, with a few fun sections for the more advanced. There will be stockers, and not stockers on our trip. (Did I mention my 62.5 rear horsepower dyno-pull?)
5. Standard trail equipment is expected. Fire extinguisher, working e-brake (if you're lucky), radio, spare, etc. Read this as a disclaimer to bring a rig that is trail ready. But also realize there will be air compressors and other misc gear abound, so if you don't have everything OK4WD has in their catalog, don't sweat it. I always forget something.
6. End of the trail is up in the Elkhorns. I will round out the day with a trip to Elkhorn Ghost Town. I'm sure others will too, but the end of the day and the route home is gonna happen organically (no plans made).
7. Kid friendly, dog friendly. We're all friendly.
I'll add the above info to the first post and a loose headcount. See you Saturday!
Headcount for Saturday run:
@90WT
@pigmony
@ZooTownCruiser
@rkymtnflyfisher
@Dave406
Pretty sure they're in but need confirmation:
@elkun1
A solid maybe:
@3_puppies
How about it? There's quite a few 40's in the club.
Throw out some suggestions on trails and dates. Let's get the gang together!
