Colorado Trip
I'll be up north on another deal (NW Colorado/Wyoming) around July 17th to the 21st. Anyone up for some Colorado wheeling before of after?
I'd like to map the area from Montezuma to Breckenridge. I'd be up for Red Cone/Radical Hill or other stuff in the area. Georgia, Glacier, or Webster. I primative camp on public land but there are FS and private campgrounds in the area or you could drive out from Denver for a day of wheeling.
Let me know.

I used to go to Colorado alot when I was younger, Heck I used to live there 1mi from KS-CO line in alittle spit called Towner on 96 hwy (not really Colorado more like Kansas). We always used to go up around the Creed area. I have been on the alpine loop once but was too young to drive it, I want to go back and give ol red rider a go at it.

Just let me know when. I like the San Juans. I like Silverton best of the three cities. Ouray used to be really nice when CW McCall had his show going. Lake City is OK but no cell service and I like the folks a lot more in Silverton. I try to camp north of Silverton and head to town every couple of days for a shower and stop in at the Funnel Cake store. Love to watch that train come in.

I travel 50 most of the time when I go out that way. Had to look at the map for the stuff on 96.
I called the FS and the area I want to map is open. I will most likely leave a week from today and spend the night in Denver to adjust to the altitude. Friday I'll leave Denver and head to Montezuma and map the area to Breckenridge. Saturday I will do Red Cone and Radical Hill and head for Georgia Pass. Sunday I'll drive on out and head back to Denver. Looks like I will camp in FS or private campgrounds to have a campfire as fire bans are in place.
Looks like I'll leave Denver Monday morning for the other deal.
I would like to get out that way again the last part of August and the first part of September. The San Juans would be great that time of year. And the area near St. Elmo (west of Buena Vista) is very nice also. Then out to Utah the last of September or first of October.

I'm in Craig, CO. Should meet up with Larry in an hour or so. Then north to continue the Outlaw trail. Did Red Cone and Radical Hill saturday. Mapped the area between Montazuma and Breckenridge yesterday. Won't have wireless again for a few days. Just borrowing unprotected service where I can find it. Not much chance of that for 3-5 days. Hope all is well back in KS. I'll be back next weekend to catch up.
