CO 4x4 80s run: 1st Aug ?

[thelal]

To fellow 80 dudes:

Anyone interested in an 80s run for Sun 1st Aug (trying to plan ahead?) in Colorado.
If that date don't work suggest some others?

Haven't had an organized one for awhile.
Was thinking Hackett Gulch but that's closed for another year.

Anyone got ideas on some trails? Its up for grabs!
Could consider doing a two day with overnight camping on Sat (if not could plan for next trip).

Once get some interest will check-out trails and post on 80scool and i8hmud
Pass along if know of any other 80 dudes interested in coming. Can either bring rig or hop in with someone else.

Need Steve Crase to jump in as he lead last year and it requires some guidance!

All depends, whose up for it, what level of difficulty, what experience/lift/tires etc., how long a day u want, want it to be a family outing etc. etc. etc.

Anyone got ideas on some trails? Its up for grabs!
Could consider doing a two day with overnight camping on Sat (if not could plan for next trip) but would bring family/kids/dog along.

Pass along if know of any other 80 dudes (re-post other boards) interested in coming. Can either bring rig or hop in with someone else.

Bunch of us are coming into Silverton from the Midwest on 7/30/04. At this point, I have no idea what the plan is so I'll just wing it! I understand that there's another group staying in Ouray as well.

CO 4x4 trip: Red Cone : Sat 7th Aug

Ali,

Looks as if consensus for an outing is not this weekend but next weekend. So at moment seems to be Sat 7th Aug.
Most requested trip is Red Cone, Webster, Radical etc. or as many as we can pack in that day.

If anyone is interested or wants to hop along for the ride - drop me an email

Looks as if five 80s at moment

That Mos. Pass run sounds good. Is that nasty bog still there? Then again I haven't done Green Ridge in about um... 12(?) years. Wow.

Wish I could make it. I won't be in CO for another 2 weeks past that. I expect pics!

Hi Guys!,

I finally got around to registering.

I'm interested in mainly day trips from the Boulder/Longmont area. Nothing too hardcore since I don't have the cache of parts, tools, and knowledge yet.

SAt 7th Aug wil be Red Cone and associated off-shoots. It wiil be an easrly and potentuially loong day - epending on what options we take while we're there. Steve Crase will lead and knows that area very well. Last year we had some tires busting and it was a looong day.


James shout me an email or give me a call and I can let u know of some easy trails around.
