Wow counting up the rigs that are going--- I have 15 or 16 so far-- I know a few will bow out though.

 

That would be EPIC!!


Now just getting everyone to agree on plans, and camping/ hotel ideas may be a trick.

 

Where are you guys going to and what trails are you planning to do?

 

1 st half of the week will be around buena vista- Tin cup- Iron Chest- Chinamans- The usual. Second half may be near Leadville maybe- Holy cross?- Redcone? I don't know.

 

I wouldn't mind going over Hancock Pass, going up the Palisades, and taking the Williams pass trail coming back.

 

Sounds pretty cool- the guys want to stay at KOA all week in Buena vista. Steve wants to split one of the new 2 room cabins with us- cutting the cost down by allot.

 

That would be fine, but I don't remember the two room cabins. I remember the one room one.

 

Ask Maddie. She knows about the 2 room cabin.

 

I will do that! Do you remember how much your two room cabin was Jack?

 

I cain't remember zactly. Seems ta me I was lookin at sum utter place an thet un was booked up fer the dates I wanted. First place had a couch thet was a sleeper. The place we got I had ta take my cot and move stuff every night. The place we stayed in gave a discount fer more then a few days. The cabin had a fridge, stove with oven, and pots in pans. I let the boys each have a room and I bedded down in the front room. TV, feedin table, an thar was a play ground an outside grills an maybe even a fire pit. Do a search fer cabins in Buena Vista. They might already be booked though. I was thinkin ifin ya split it 3 ways at under $50 a night.

 

Vista Court Cabins - Buena Vista, Colorado


This is the place we stayed at. Guess my rememberer on price was a fer bit on the high side. Split 2 ways is still under $50 a night.

 

I guess the rest of the guys want to stay at Buena vista all week- but go white water rafting 1 day instead of wheeling. Tin cup- Grizzley lake- Mt Princeton- Iron chest- Chinaman's- Palisades- Taylor pass were the trails mentioned :-)

 

I know its going to cost a little more to stay in the cabin, but I like the idea of not having to carry as much stuff out and back. Although I will still probably bring my stove, and sleeping bags, pillows, etc.. having a dry place to sleep will be nice, but there isn't much that is better than waking up on a cold crisp mountain with steam raising off of the tree bark that the sun is beating down on bright and early in the morning. I feel like we are trying to stretch things too thin, in order to make Buena Vista and Breckenridge on one trip unless we are relocating our campsite.

 

Yeah I was thinking that too--- but I guess the others want to stay at the KOA in "Buney" the whole time. There is allot of trails and other stuff to do while there- Some of the guys want to do a small white water rafting trip 1 day. Ect ect. I said that this year I would try and do it their way- if I don't like it I won't do it again- :-) Not taking a tent- ect will be great-- Splitting the cabin 4 ways will make it really cheap :-) So I guess as long as we see trees during the day and we are together at night I'm good :-)

 

Yep, it will be a great week! Looking forward to it already!
