12th Annual Colorado Scramble

still hopeful Dan, but I havent been told where or when I have been obligated to pick up the beloved parasite from her vacation....
 
Brian it will be great to see you again...

Terry its been way to long since we have seen you man so work it out... ;-)... jk of course! Hope you get to come.
 
Darn wont be able to make it those dates. If you do some other local runs that I can run Dan, my daughter and I would love to join you on a trail another day. Have fun. Should be a fun set of trails. There is still some good fishing in Wheeler lake as well as the creek down below.
 
Linda and myself will be there. Also I am looking for a full hard door, driver's side, any color but need it in good shape. call me at 303-478-5471. maybe someone can bring it to Fairplay, thanks

Todd
 
Some trail info...

Todd I don't have a door but look forward to seeing you guys it will be fun to see everyone and to be back home... We like it here very much but home really is where the heart is and for me that will always be Colorado!

I had mentioned that we would probably do Breakneck Pass and Browns Pass and we still may do so depending on times of trail completion etc...

However for a "Main Day" trail we are going to do Mosquito Pass to the Summit and back with a couple of side trips. This trail really has all of what Colorado has to offer for scenery and I cant see passing on it again, therefore we'll do it.
 
You can count the King clan out for this year... It is right on our anniversary, and couldn't convince the wife. Hope you guys have fun.
 
Trail Conditions: http://www.bushducks.com/tripreps/passopen.htm#mosquito

Mosquito Pass
COMMENTS:
7/9/14 - Open from Alama to North London Mine. 7+ feet snow still blocking road at mine.
10+ feet snow blocking road above mine on talus field climb to summit.
Road muddy and creek crossings high due to snow-melt.

Wheeler Lake
COMMENTS:
7/5/14 - The trail is 95% open. About 1/2 to the top we busted out a large snow drift. About 300 feet from the top is a large deep snow drift that we were only able to get about 20 feet or so into. There is a lot of waterholes because of runoff but the trail is passable. I expect that the top section needs another week or 2 and it will be open as well.
 
Yep Jason I have read both of those myself... Did you find those on on Bushducks? Wheeler should be clear by the time we get there and maybe we'll have to open it those last few feet :-). You are not joining us until the last day is that correct still?
 
Yes, those quotes from Bushducks.
Always fun busting open some snowy trails!

Correct, will not be joining until Friday morning.
I believe John Case will be doing the same.
Hopefully our junk is still able to move by then.
If not, will hitch a ride!

Is Picnic Friday evening?
 
I'll be there the 23rd and hopefully the 25th. I can't make it on the 24th.

Will plan to bring a gallon of Pit Beans. Anything else we can help with let us know.
 
Anyone coming to Colorado via way of Dallas as I am looking at possibly buying a used tub that is in better shape than mine and am trying to find it a ride so I do not have to head down to Dallas to pick it up?
 
Hey Dan,anymore clarity on what trails which day? I may be able to come up for just Thursday or just Friday, low probability on both

thanks
 
Some first day pictures (had to skip the second day but plan to be there for Wheeler Lake)
