Any time that works really. I'll be driving down from Great Falls so a meet-up in Boulder would likely work the best.

How does The Sweet Spot at 930 sound? Also, I have never been through the Wickes tunnel. Did you make it up there last year? If not, I can reach out to the montana off-road facebook group.

what’s the sweet spot?

@Boondocker_153 sent me this. I’ve never actually been able to find the tunnel and I’ve been up there twice

The sweet spot is a cafe in boulder. We can meet somewhere else if you have something in mind. I’ll ask the Montana off road folks for directions.

Would you be willing to meet in Jefferson city? It looks like navigation might be a little easier if we start there. Also, I'm going to bring a grill and some burgers for a trail lunch. Do you want me to bring some for you as well?
Cheers,
Scot

ill have food, but ill take a free burger. Jefferson city would work for a meet up location.

isn't it Wickes?

 

[TommyGuns]

I am not sure, but I do know that it is a tunnel !

 

[Bigsky80]

isn't it Wickes?

Probably, spelling has never been my strength I looked it up... the actual name is the Boulder Tunnel, but it is commonly referred to as Wickes because of its proximity to the town of Wickes. As G I Joe would say knowing is half the battle.

So do you wanna try and meet up in Jefferson City at 9:30 then?
Later in the day would be OK with me because I don’t for see this taking the entire day and I’ll be camping out with my friends near bolder Saturday night
