South east corner of 550 and 528 at the gas station.

We'll probably do the same thing Thursday am - 9ish at the north portal. Post up if anyone else is doing the same.

We're out...

Let's plan for a Black bear pass run on Friday, how does that sound to y'all? We ran this on Friday last year as well and didn't have too many folks on the trail.

 

[pappy]

North Portal means the casino, correct? If so the Gundersons may be in.

That time sounds good to me. We should be in Durango for a late lunch.

-Mike-

Let's plan on a 9:00 meet up and a 9:15 departure. I'd rather hit Durango in time for a reasonable lunch.

Williams' are in for Wed 9am at N.Portal.

We're heading out shortly and plan on camping at Haviland Lake, 18m North of Durango, tonight. See y'all tomorrow at 4J+J+1.

Let's plan on HDC_2 for our HAM channel. Call my cell if you need anything.

What is HDC 2?

whew! hard work prepping today. found a bad power steering leak, easy fix. topped up fluids. she hasn't been out since the tree run I realized. separating tire on the trailer, fixed at Discount. put a new board in the trailer to fix the broken one. worked on the camper faucet that is still leaking. couldn't fix that, no big deal, water can be left off and use the hand pump. camper is on the truck, we are loaded and ready to head out in the am. see the Wed. group at N.Portal!

No rear bumper yet - might have to go with the tail dragging receiver hitch... Oh well, not a lot to drag on up there anyway... See you Thursday afternoon!

 

[SteveLCetc]

Anybody have an extra handheld ham radio that I could borrow for the weekend?

 

[TroutRunner]

Looks like I got put back in my ortho boot (bad achilles) for a bit more. Starting PT tomorrow.

Anyway, between my boot and my girls want to keep going to a day camp here we will be missing you guys.

Have fun on Black Bear, been in good shape both times i went this year. Don't let Ali tell you doing Imogene will be too long a day...just drive faster.

You can borrow mine if you're still in town. I do not have a car charger, just an AC charger base for the battery.
