Saturday run 4/13

[hiimmike]

I don't know where I'm going, exactly. I don't know how I'll get there. I hope I don't get lost. I hope I don't get stuck.

Any takers on wheeling Northern Colorado this weekend? Below is a list of trails I've complied which Trails Offroad does NOT say are "closed".

Sunny and almost 80, that means I'm in the mountains baby!!! Well, maybe not in the mountains but certainly away from home and out exploring.





North:


silver creek road


crown point road/pingree park road


Camaan Springs Road


Buckhorn Road








Deadman Road


Pearl Beaver Road


Peterson Lake Road


Laramie River Valley Road


Rocky Beaver


FR 156C


Little Bald








Twin Laks Spur - B17 crash


Twin Lakes


Comanche


Cherokee Park Road


Turkey Roost








Cave Creek


Knob Hill

Maybe / most likely? If you don't mind risking my less-than-perfect front spindles / wheel bearings issue.

I'd be game for anything. There's also Pawnee Grasslands.

Gordon Gulch? Some spurs around there to explore as well.


or Peewink Mountain

My official plan is Peewink Mountain, departure from the trailhead at 10am. Drop a message here so I know if I should wait for you. I've been spamming everywhere and apparently I'm not a very fun person, it's just me so far. oh well

If you don't hear from me in 6 months, I'm dead on Peewink, first come first served to have my Jeep that's stuck.

I have never heard of Peewink - where is this?

[hiimmike]

Good question! I've never been here either, I like new experiences.


I'm not able to post screen shots, error message saying my post exceeds max characters. Peewink is just South of Sugarloaf Mountain which shares a Southern intersection with Switzerland. I'm certain you know where Switzerland is.




After completing Peewink (having lunch, maybe a wood fire, relaxing in a chair and enjoying the company (if other people tolerate me and come along)) I plan to go to "Matchless" (North side of the loop), up to Gordon Gulch, up to Sugarloaf Mountain Road, then out. I hear Sugarloaf is "impassible" for a stock Wrangler based on TrailsOffroad as of 1/20/24. Not sure how it looks now but I think it's worth the try for the adventure.


Sounds like I'm bringing the wife and dog along.


My wife is friends with the wife of the son of the guy who runs the Off Camber 4x4 club and shop in Windsor. The wife and her husband are coming over for dinner tomorrow and I plan on asking if they want to go out. I met him on 4x4 day and he's a nice guy.


I have a feeling this is going to be a snow recovery day, maybe use the winch. Matter of fact, the same winch that you taught me how to use and respool, I think that was on Kelly Flats.
