I think if we want to do the trail without going on the same route twice, starting at Nederland makes sense. We start there and do the whole loop and hit Pennsylvania to get back and should be hardly any back tracking. If people want to take sugarloaf home and break off they can. I would like to drop into Nederland after the run and have pizza since someone mentioned they had a good place there. It's up to you guys. I am going to post up the info for the Denver guys as well. It kinda sucks to drive all the way to Nederland to do the trail when we could come up sugarloaf but then there is either backtracking or not doing the whole trail. Kind of the lay of the land though
 
What time is the who is all going to be coming up the day of. Travis I know you talked about it and Sam was showing interest. We need to get a meet up time at the north location. It looks like it will take about 2 1/2 hours to get too the trailhead from here so maybe a little bit of an early start. I am going to try and camp somewhere by glacier lake if at all possible. I say we set up a meet up time Somewhere in Nederland where I will drive down and meet you guys. That way we should be able to get Denver guys and springs guys together as long as they are still coming.
 
The wife's sick. I've been with her for almost 15 years and this is only the 3rd sick day she's used in that time. She's headed to the doctor now. Not sure if I'm going to be able to make the trip...:( I'll update as soon as I know more.
 
That sucks Travis.

Leon do you want to get together for camping or are you on a rogue mission?
Sam are you planning on coming? If so we would do a later meet time for you so you will have time to get there.
I am going to look for a gas station in Nederland to meet up at and get some times put up so we can get everyone informed. Blazer we will try and get it together for you. It sounds like maybe I could almost meet up with you to find a camp spot as well.
 
We're still planning to be there Saturday morning.
Matt, give me a time and place in Nederland when you have it. I assume 36 and 119 are open to there?
Thanks!
 
Matt,

I found Glacier Lake and will camp up there if I can find you. I am not sure what time I will be up there though. Is it dispersed camping? I will just need a spot to park really and enough vertical to open the RTT. I will send you my phone number via PM.

How about we just a meet time for Nederland at 9:30 for Sam?

Sam tune into CRA and you can keep us posted on your eta Sat.

Travis, sorry to hear about Jess.
 
The Sinclair 217 SH 119 Nederland colorado 80466 at 9:30 and we will wait until 10 to depart.

Leon I think the road that goes up there is private and not sure how much if any is camping. I am going to tool around up there until I find something nice then get somewhere for service and post up. Might even drop back into Nederland to let the wife know. I will keep in touch. Sam if your running late just let us know. We will definatley wait for you.
 
Sounds like a plan.
 
The gas station say kwik mart on it and it's still a Sinclair for the meet up spot. I am camping north of Nederland off of highway 72. You take a right just after mile marker 37 which is east off there on to 226.1. It turns into 233.1 and then you turn right on 228.1b. Not to far down I am to the left. It's a disperse camping area and I talked with the forest service and got a map and the camp spot is pretty good size. It's starting to rain as we speak. Meet up time is tomorrow at 9:30am and leave at 10.

Got it, thanks. Hopefully I'll find the station (How big can Nederland be???) See ya around 9:30. If I'm not there by 10:00, take off without me and have fun!
 
How'd it go? Everyone have fun? I was on the verge of coming. Jess was feeling better Friday, so I loaded up the truck and got everything prepped. Then she woke up Saturday morning with her illness back with a vengeance (she feeling much better now).

Anyhoo....hope it was a blast.

Post up some pics!
