Caribou Trail-FJ40 Virgin Run

[Rob]

It's on the calendar.

Here are the details. I can try to make minor changes to accommodate everyone, but this'll get us started.

Meet at B&H Mountain Market in Nederland at 9:30 a.m. From there, it's only a few minutes to the trailhead at the south end. Welles says it takes a couple hours to get to Caribou Road. Just before that are a couple of spurs and a nice place to have lunch (or whatever has broken on the 40).

Then it's a few minutes to Caribou Road. We can decide then whether to do the north end of the trail, which is shorter and takes about an hour, unless everyone gets stuck in the mud and we have a winchfest. Add a half-hour for that. Or we could turn around and do the south half going downhill. Or we could head up 72 and check out MSV, part of it or all of it, for a pre-snow run run. Lots of options after we do the south end of Caribou.

Here's the traildamage page for the south half that starts in Eldora,

I would like to try and make it for this run...It will depend on putting the truck back together and looking for a co driver, for my entertainment.

I just did these both not long ago, so I'm probably out.

There isn't really anything too hard on the Eldorado Mountain half. The Caribou Creek half has a big muddy spot, but an easy way around. I went through the hardest muddy part with ease....I mean when I got through I looked down and noticed I was still in 2nd gear. But with the recent weather it could be worse now. Other than the mud pit, the rest of that trail is super easy and we flew through that half in like 20 minutes.

Stupid work. I really want to go. Especially seeing all of the interest in it and the chance to meet more of the group.
