    Default Wheelin' for sure this weekend



    Anyone else wanna get out somewhere in the front range? I've been out of commission the last two weekends and this coming weekend looks to be stable weathers-wise ---> so perfect for wheelin'

    Anyone have any trails they really wanna hit before end of the year?

    Is Johnny Park still open? Might be interested in it Sat late morning or Sunday. Need to get an oil change first this Sat.

    We just joined the group and would be down for a trek. We just got our '71 CJ a few weeks ago. Put new springs, shocks, carb, alternator, and seats in it last weekend. Had it out Sunday around Ward and Gold Hill west of Boulder. Seems to be good to go. However, I'm not real comfortable taking it too far from home (we live near Rollinsville) until it proves itself to be dependable enough for further trips.

    We have yet to explore much up here but I understand there are trails around Black Hawk, Rollinsville, and Nederland. Any would be fair game for us to get this antique out and stretch her legs.

    I also have an '07 Tacoma (lifted, rock slides, winch-equipped) which has seen its fair share of dirt, rock, and folks needing winched out so we are not completely new to off-roading.

    Would be nice to be with a group for a change in case something goes wrong.

    Welcome neighbor! I live off the Peak to Peak Hwy, although I'm up past Allenspark. I used to live outside of Ned for many years though..... Would love to see your new '71. That's my birth year

    I believe DEC 1st is technically when many of the forest roads have the seasonal closing gates.... However, I'm not sure how quickly the Forest Service will execute closing all the gates so JOHNNY PARK and others might not be open this weekend, but it's possible some might be (hoping at least).

    I would be up for GORDON GULCH, CARIBOU, RAINBOW LAKES or one of these Nederland area trails this weekend, since I missed the last time (So did Tom).... I'm pretty sure GORDON is open year round just in case because the others have seasonal gates closed and would be good to have a backup plan.

    Thoughts?

    Not to play "the father role", but if the MVUM's and/or signage and/or FS website say a trail is closed as of a certain day, please consider it closed whether or not the gate is. We need to be good stewards to ensure they open back up next year. A few trails in that area close 12/1, even more 1/1.

    Great point, thanks for clarifying! I know JOHNNY PARK has signage that says DEC 1st. I'm not sure about the other trails though.....

    Bunce and Ironclads are open year round. The far southern section of Bunce closes, which includes T33A Plane crash area and Camp Dick

    I've never run Caribou. Tried once, but the gate was closed. Want to set up a run for Sunday? I have no chains for the jeep, so I expect very much (any?) snow will force me out.
