Aug 8 or 9?

[FINOCJ]

Getting this started a bit early, but I am heading out of town until Aug 6 (middle fork permit!). I am hoping to get one more weekday run in on Aug 8 or 9 before work starts back up. Any interest? I would be interested in MSV-Coney, Bill Moore-Mill Creek, Kingston Peak-Sheridan Hill, Webster Pass. Maybe even something a bit further away in BV/Ark valley, Mosquito, Hagerman, HalfMoon Creek, Taylor Pass, Schofield as a 2 day trip with overnight camp (assuming snow is gone by then)?

I will have internet access up through Thurs 7/27 afternoon - then I will probably be offline until Aug 4 or so. If a run develops during that time, post it up and I will join in as soon as I get back online. As much as I chide that May and June are more ski months than 4wheeling, it really is getting about that time finally!

Possibly could make either of those two dates as well.

That is as long as you guys don't mind running with the elephant......

I would like to run mosquito pass assuming the snow is gone. Bushducks says its open all the way. Havent been over it in quite some time. Its a bit of a long drive from both Denver and the springs though. If its too far a drive we can do webster or bill moore.

FYI - Webster was reported as not passable by Jeep last weekend (snow drift near top).

Will be offline for about a week. I will post for mosquito pass but if people like something else feel free to change. Admin can delete or modify if needed.

Hi guys...back online. Let me know if you need any changes to the meeting time or place etc. Of all things the tacoma had a check engine light come on in the middle of nowhere Idaho along with an engine vibration/misfire. Babied it 100 miles to Butte, MT. Nice local shop squeezed us in here at the end of the day. #6 ignition coil was bad. Should be on the road again shortly.

Glad they got you in and it wasn't too serious.

Thanks Louis, it won't be long!

With Tues approaching...wanted to finalize a meeting place. Do we want to meet in Fairplay at gas station or would meeting at the trailhead be easier. I know Louis will be trailering his rig...so it might be easiest to meet at the trailhead where Louis wants to leave his trailer? Louis - If you know a place you want to leave the trailer, let me know. I think you can leave it right at the mosquito pass rd (12) and the paved road (hwy 9).

See if this google map pin works...

Does 10 am meeting still work for everyone? The early forecast for the weather shows a bit mixed - possible to probable T-storms as the day develops (might have to put the top on). Actually, I am debating just flat-towing it but I'll probably drive it out there.
