- Plan Formed-
Howdy Folks!
Late to post up but it's been on the calendar so I bet you've been wondering!!!!
This weekend I have big plans. My goal is to pre-run Jenny Creek, lay eyes on Kingston Peak, and Pre-Run Argentine Pass. All in one swoop... but... I plan to do this with a night of camping shoved in the middle. Site to be determined.... It will depend on where I get to and what looks "real nice".
WHO- This event is open to anybody who can make it. You do not need to be a member of Rising Sun to attend. Kids and dogs welcome, just make sure they are being watched and not in harms way. Leashes for dogs.
WHAT - Argentine Pass, Kingston Peak, Jenny Creek Trail Cleanup and inventory. We collaborate with the Boulder and Clear Creek Ranger districts to do general trail maintenance, post and cable repair, signage, campsite cleanup, illegal route management, and many other things. These are our adopt-a-trails that we have done a lot of work on to keep open and this is our opportunity to get out and do a quick baseline trip for future work days. We have a lot of ground to cover and will be moving quickly. Goals are to basically put boots on the ground and be able to communicate conditions back to appropriate people.
GET YOUR OHV PERMIT, This is a requirement for doing the Jenny Creek portion of this run since Jenny Creek is a trail. The money goes directly towards keeping trails like this open. Here is the thread on it: https://risingsun4x4club.org/xf/threads/ohv-permits-required-on-full-sized-vehicles.25153/page-2
What to bring:
