Looks like for the first time I'll make this run.

I'm in. There will be 3 of us (myself, wife, and daughter).

However, I've gotta ask, why early March for the major annual group event? My desert blood isn't real fond of snow, ice, cold, and by March I've had fully enough of winter. It would seem that July in the Colorado high country would be ideal? Is there another big summer group picnic/event that gets planned? It's all good, just curious.

Geoff - I think that was when FR4x4 was first born and it has been an annual tradition. I agree - I hate the cold, snow and ice. And I wish it was at least planned for April, but... I have also experienced some really nice weather and trail conditions on previous runs up there - so you never know.

You could think about planning another event similar to this any time of the year you choose! Just pick a date and a trail and things will fall into place.

When/Where are people meeting up for camping? I don't get off work until 3:30 that day, but would like to still get down there Friday night.

I'll probably be in Denver by 11 or 12, I'm going to hit a couple junk yards and head up, but I can wait for you, I'm in no rush lol

Christopher - if you know how to find the trail, you will have no trouble finding the campers. The initial approach is an uphill drive on a rather steep and narrow trail but when you reach the top, it's a wide open area. You'll figure it out from there! More than likely, you'll see the massive camp fire!

you cant miss it...we are right at the base of the trail where it goes up the hill and to the right into the trees

[Rick]

I will be leaving by 3pm at the latest..got off work at 1:30 and just have to wait for daughters boyfriend to get to the house....(This may make or brake him)

It could be a great opportunity. Spending time with him "as part of your family" and see how that works. I'll never forget the day our son-in-law came over to our house unannounced to ask for our daughter's hand. He's been a welcome member to the family ever since.
