Official August Club Trail Ride: Goose Lake August 13-ish (1 Viewer)

[90WT]

@406Camper If we leave Cooke City at 9am is that an early enough start for adding a Grasshopper Glacier hike? Maybe 8 am is better? We need to set an official meetup time in Cooke City at the gas station for Saturday morning.

@REZARF @MTsoul @halfsmilingfj @thetoyotaman Are you camping at Goose Lake or one of the other lakes Sat night, or headed back down near Cooke City? Two of us are headed back down so there’s lots of options.

@90WT 8am Saturday morning start works for me. Would you guys wanna have a group breakfast possibly Friday or Saturday morning in Cooke or silver gate?

I’m not sure exactly where I want to go camp Saturday night will go with the flow of things.

 

[thetoyotaman]

If it works out I would drive up Friday and camp at the lake and come back Saturday.

9 am meetup Saturday morning at the Gas Station in Cooke City. We'll leave for Goose Lake Trail from there if any stragglers join in. Be ready to roll at 9.

Friday night, some of us are meeting for dinner at the Beartooth Cafe. 6 or 7 or so....? Look for CruiserHeads.

@90WT when you say ready to roll at 9. Does that include being aired down? Or does that happen later? Dumb question from me.

On the fence if I can make it, but if I can I am thinking of bringing the trailer out for a Friday night camp out. Likely returning Saturday or maybe even Sunday. Depending on wife and kids.

FYI to all. My wife and I will leave bozo around 4:30 pm tomorrow (Thursday) to head to Cooke City. The plan is to likely connect with @halfsmilingfj on the way up with the hopes to meet @90WT family to camp. Then I have all day to explore, chill. We are down for Friday diner with the crew. My plan is to run Goose lake on Friday. Unfortunately, I need to head back home on Saturday (this may correlate well with @thetoyotaman...I sure would like to see that beautiful 80 in action ).

And generally, I am pretty open to going with the flow otherwise.

See ya out there!

We’ll air down in Cooke City.

Hope you can make it. We’ll keep an eye out for ya.

As much as I’d like to go, too much work to get done. Enjoy everyone!

[REZARF]

One of my all time most favorit-est ever trails. Cooke City doesn't disappoint. Great group of folks, great driving, ZERO recoveries... awesome trail.

Thanks for everyone who made it out. Post up the pics as you get the time.

Is this run done pretty much the same time every year?

 

[90WT]

The last three years it’s been in the first couple of weeks of August. The trail hits nearly 10k feet so late Summer is a safer bet to schedule.
