I will get more details posted up closer to the actual event.

For now, plan on leaving early so we can get to the trail ahead of everyone else.

This is a great trail for mildly built rigs. Very scenic and you get to run in the creek in a few places.

Hope to see you there !

I can fire up the bike and ride it in late june and let you know trail condition. I have heard rumors that with the september flooding it is really washed out.

updated (Count me in) Now its a maybe

I might have to back out due to over heating issues.

replaced water pump and thermostat. still over heats.
radiator is the next step.

Just bringing this back to the top as a reminder.

Anyone else planning to go ?

I'll have to step out for this run. Family in town so we will be camping outside of salida.

I'm a probably.

If I can get Drews trans working, we will probably be joining this run.

Howdy guys,

How about we meet in Rollinsville, CO at 8:30 ?

It will take us 45 - 60 minutes to reach Jenny Creek trail head so if we leave Rollinsville by 8:45 we should be on the trail by 9:30 or so.

I will be staying at the Eldora Lodge in Wondervu on Friday night so I am open to earlier or later start time depending on what everyone else has in mind. If anyone else is interested, Eldora Lodge has one room left, they can be reached at 303 642 7181

Post up if you can make it by then or need more time (keep in mind we don't want to hit this trail too much later or we risk trail traffic).

I'm not planning a fast and out, but more of a relaxing pace as I will have my kids with me and they like to stop once in a while. Also, I'm bringing fishing poles so we can try to catch supper at Jenny Lake.

8:30 Sounds fine. Is there parking for a tow rig and trailer by the trail head?
It will be my first time up there

That would work if I could park some where in rollinsville for the day.

Looking like my buddy and I will be in. We've both owned our Bronco's since high-school (early 90's). We're going to be camping up near Rollinsville that weekend so we'll just meet up with you there. I'll have at least one of my kids and my buddy's wife will be with him.

I'm definitely in. How long do you guess the run will be? Is it an "in and back" or does the trail dump you somewhere else. Fly fishing?

BTW -- no laughing at me because I'll be in my wife's assed green heep!

We're camping up there Friday and Saturday night. If the road to/from Jenny Creek doesn't shake the Bronco completely apart the idea is to do either West Magnolia or Eldorado Mtn on Sunday. Not sure if either of those are still open but if not, we'll figure something out.

We'll have at least one 6 year old with us and maybe my 3 year old depending if the wife ends up coming along.

Nope. Been closed many many years. Only way over is on foot.

You used to be able to 4x4 over the top as the tunnel was collapsed. They put some large boulders and a steel gate on the east side so no way to bypass anymore so you have to drive around to rollinsville or go over through central city.

Have fun fellas. I'm bummed I'll be missing this one.

Went up yesterday in the 4Runner to scout camping spots for next weekend. There are a few spots along the Rollins Pass road where you can drop a tow rig and trailer. The end of Jenny Creek is still snowed under so plan on it being out and back on the trail. There were some folks messing around on it yesterday so maybe there will be a path by next weekend.

Took us an hour from Rollinsville to the trail head in my 97 4Runner. That "road" sure beats the heck out of you.

I'm guessing if we get the rain they are calling for this week it could be pretty muddy through-out the area.

Looking forward to Saturday!

Adam

Havent touched Drews rig in 2 weeks so his trans is still thrashed. Looks like we are heading to the breakfast instead. Have fun guys

Is this run still a Go? If so, where is the planned meeting location? Maybe it's obvious, but I've never been to Rollinsville.

Looks like the forecast has improved a bit.

Hopefully it's not a giant mud bog from all the recent rain storms.

I'm going to be camping up there tonight. We'll meet you at the trailhead around 9:30 (I think it will take you an 45-60 minutes to get there from Rollinsville).

My buddy (his name is Larry) will meet you guys in Rollinsville.

Really hoping it's not too muddy up there. Could make camping interesting. :)

Well, didn't make it to the campsite. Blew a wheel bearing outside of Nederland. Will be tomorrow before I can get parts. Will have to fix it tomorrow and hope I can get it home. My buddy will be helping me so we'll have to catch everyone next time.
