Yankee Hill Sat. April 22

[Java]

I'm going to head up next SUNDAY THE 23rd morning, leaving denver about 9am and taking the backroads up, should be at the big area by the Boodle Mill / Central City Cemetery by 10:30 or so. If anyone wants to drive up the backway through the parks and gambling towns we can meet up at Crown Hill Cemetery (26th and Kipling) at 9, I know a fun way with some good dirt roads.

I don't want to bash too much or have a winch fest, it's a little early in the season to break stuff, but I'm expecting to make it all the way over, or atleast to the big snowfield without too much drama.

Post up if you're interested!

Nice video from mid Feb., we've only had one big snow since then so I'd expect it to be pretty clear...

Depending on what I'm doing, I might go along with you. I will try to keep you updated.

Rebuilding my rear diff that day. Take pics!

I might be interested, although I'd be coming from the North on Peak to Peak highway. I don't have a winch so I'd like to go with others just in case. I'm familiar with Central city but haven't done any off roading in the area, I assume the cemetery is in the far west side of town before the Central city parkway???

I believe this is the cemetery meeting spot. Paul can confirm. https://goo.gl/maps/cXR8Aj1YUJv

That's it, thanks Max. Sunday is looking better weather wise, probably switching...

[Brad]

If I get my diff completed I may join you. Really itching to get out.

[Java]

Awesome!! What's wrong with your diff?

[Java]

Changed to Sunday for sure, the 23rd

[JandDGreens]

If it is on Sunday I might be able to go. You should post it on the calendar.

Bearings are humming. Luckily they can go quite a long time with this as I have been driving it for a year this way. It is common.

Sunday might be harder for me to get there but I will try to make it

Looks like this has some life to it, I'll post it up. Matt, if you take 119 to Apex Valley rd, then go south on Upper Apex rd it will take you right to the cemeteries, you can't miss them. Both are graded county roads.

I'm definitely interested in joining in. I'm on the fence between driving the Scout the whole way (200+ miles round trip), or trailering to the cemetery meeting spot. On google maps it looks like the meeting spot might actually be trailer friendly with room to unload and go without worrying about leaving the truck/trailer for a while. Is that right? Thanks for any help.

[Chris]

Right, there's plenty of space for a trailer. Go easy on yourself and trailer the Scout.

Count me in! The meet up spot is 15 minutes from me. I have a winch in case we need it.

What are we using to keep in contact on the trails? I have 3 regular motorola walkies that I usually use. I have a handheld cobra cb haven't used it though...
