    Calendar? Isn’t this the planned run thread? Your link points to the planning thread me thinks.

    I’ll be bringing along my son and two grandsons.

    "Calendar?"

    I was working on it and my dog started having some sort of uncontrollable spasms or seizure. I had to shift my attention for a while. The calendar entry is up now.

    Isaac (my dog) seems normal after that weird incident the other night. He's scheduled to go in to the vet shortly for some blood work and general checkout. Not sure what it was, but it's the second time we've seen something like that happen in the 5+ years we've known him.

    Its really quite easy. There is a creek crossing, one rocky area where once a guy with me hung up on his rear diff though I have never had an issue, and some very narrow s curves through some trees and rocks. I tore a valve stem on the rocks once. Thats the only damage I have ever had on either of these trails.


    I know. I just jinxed myself.

    Ok bringing wife with no kid. I want to do lunch in Idaho springs or wherever anyone recommends around 1 or 2ish for our 4 year anniversary. So I might need to leave early. We are flexible though.

    I'm planning to eat my lunch at Bill Moore Lake. You should have plenty of time to get to Idaho Springs by 1, though you may need to skip the Empire Loop. For what it's worth, I tried to eat lunch in Idaho springs around 3pm last Saturday after the trail cleanup run, and could not park even in the big paid-parking lot. Hopefully it is less busy this weekend for you.
