Wed (7/21) or Thurs (7/22) this week?

[FINOCJ]

My weekends are pretty busy, so trying to find a weekday run (and avoid some of the trail crowds)....Anyone looking to get out on Wed or Thurs this week? Open to trail suggestions...some that come to my mind:
1) Red Elephant/Bill Moore
2) MSV/Coney/T33
3) Bard Creek/Democrat Mountain

cheers....

Hmmm - Option 2 on Thurs could work for me.

I'll have to pass on this even though I would like to join. My age is catching up with me. Totally exhausted today after yesterday's run. Probably would not be up for the cleanup run if I joined.

T33 is good by me - let's do that!

[FINOCJ]

Just got word Thurs works well...T33 is good - and whatever else in the area might be reasonable but I don't need a super long wheeling day. I'd most likely be coming up from south on 119/72 from Nederland. Probably meet at Peaceful valley campground? As its a weekday, doesn't need to be super early, but would rather not get stuck in traffic on the way home either. 9, 9:30, 10am?

10a @ Peaceful Valley would be my pref. Home to trailhead is 2 hours.

Reviewing assorted GPS track logs - without stopping it's about 1 hour Peaceful Valley to T33 site (and 1 hour back out). Time spent at the site is up to you (I've been there).

FWIW - T-33a intersection with Bunce to Bunce north trailhead took 49 minutes one run. Same T-33a / Bunce intersection to south trailhead / Peaceful Valley - 9 minutes.

Your CJ-5 will have a BREEZE with the tree zig-zag section

I'd probably suggest pulling in to near the trailhead by the campground...but good with either.

[Jim]

K - I'll go to the spot near the trailhead. It's a weekday - it should be clear / not packed.

[FINOCJ]

I'll be heading out about 8am...so far all looks good this morning for on time departure.

[Jim]

I'm in the same boat - just a cooler, water and camera to carry out then I'll turn a key - 8a works.

Whoops I’m a week late on this 🤪

[Jim]

Matt's been a bit quiet the past couple...

[RockyMtRebel]

I was traveling but I’m back and the new Jeep is at the shop getting a lift, wheels and tires, winch and differential skids installed. Picking it up on Thursday and will need to test it out
