Saturday or Sunday trail running anyone?

[speedkills]

I'm up for anything, if you have a trail in mind just let me know, don't mind driving anywhere within a few hours of Nederland. Just looking to do some wheeling this weekend and have someone else around.

Saturday, Sunday, both? I'm game.

I'd be down to wheel Sunday - weather looks too windy for Saturday with 30mph gusts predicted, and it doesn't take much to blow my 'zuk around.

I still want to check out the Fourmile area in Buena Vista. Since B-Roll offroad posted a YouTube video of the natural bridge the other day I kind of want to go check it out. It's a 3/4 mile hike steep uphill though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBAGr0eXQEc

Of course there's other trails there too.

Perfect. Let's plan on Fourmile Sunday then. I'm not too much for early rising, but can if I need to. Want to meet at 11am? Name a place, better yet post a map link to where you want to meet and I can be there.

I like to sleep in on weekends, so I'm with you on not meeting too early. 11am is fine with me.

The best meeting point depends on what trails we'd want to do and who all is coming from where. If you want to do the aforementioned Natural Bridge loop trail, which I'd only suggest if you don't mind a steep 3/4 mile hike, this meeting point would be most convenient (and is most convenient for me anyway coming from the northwest) - Railroad Street Parking - 203 S Railroad St, Buena Vista, CO 81211 https://goo.gl/maps/NKQPB4rCqSYbn6S28

If we want to do one of the trails further southeast of Buena Vista and we end up with a bunch of folks coming from the east, someone in one of the previous planning or planned threads mentioned another spot that'd be more convenient for those folks.

This late in planning I don't think we'll end up with too many people. Hike depends on how I'm feeling. Probably up for it but if not I'll just take a nap in my truck until you get back. I'm up for some trails with some challenge if that changes anything.

[Mad Maxx]

Cool, so 11am at the spot I mentioned in town? We could even pick the specific trail we want to do when we meet and I can suggest some options. I don't think there's anything challenging in the Fourmile area, though. I do know of some somewhat more challenging trails in the area but I think they're still snowed in.

[speedkills]

Sounds good, 11am at Railroad Street Parking it is.

I just posted it on the calendar in case anyone else might want to come along.

I went out locally and got stuck in the snow a few times so my neighbor could test his recovery gear On the way home found a guy in a Volt stuck in 3" of snow so pulled him out too. My neighbor showed me the strap through the wheel technique which I have never seen before since the volt had no good place to strap onto.

The snow was super wet and dense. It was 2-3' deep in areas but I could walk on top of it while only sinking a few inches.

It was fun making fresh tracks even though I didn't get too far

Natural bridge trail looks great. If we're going to be right there Lenhardy Cutoff and Sevenmile Creek also look like they would be fun.
