Alright Folks, Here's the plan.....

Saturday the 3rd Meet - 08:30 @ Mountain Buzz Cafe in Georgetown - http://mountainbuzzcafe.com/
Get burrito, coffee, fuel up.
Wheels Up - 09:00
Wheel Argentine to the top and back. Quick run, targeting no more than 3-4hrs on trail. We will be moving quickly stoping only to take notes and pick up any visible trash.

Late Lunch and refuel (around 14:00hrs) in Idaho Springs at Smokin' Yards - https://www.smokinyards.com/

Drive back west to Fall River (around 15:00hrs) Road and make out way into Kingston Peak Trail.

Saturday Night camp along Kingston Peak Trail - WORKING ON A SPOT, WILL UPDATE.

Sunday morning wheels up by 08:30 - finish Kingston Peak, head over to Jenny Creek.

Sunday afternoon finish up JC and head into Nederland for Pizza at Crosscut Pizzeria if folks are up for it and it's not too busy. Or we can get BBQ at the toad place.

Notes:
Hunter, you can split off before JC or I have other Ideas for you if you want to spend the day up there.
Beretta/Shipwreck maybe you guys want to wheel in Kingston from Tolland and try to rendezvous with us. I need to pick a target site but on a saturday evening I feel like nothing can be guaranteed. You have ham and we will be on 147.420 so we should be able to chat. We can also monitor the colorado connection from up there. Are you comfortable using the connection? There is a slight chance we'll be kicking ass all day and end up camping on JC. IN fact i'd prefer that but not sure we can make it happen.... the timing is hard to predict.

Thoughts? If people Likey I'll update the first post.
Im open to your thoughts I do not really have plans other than this for the weekend!

Alright, sounds like we've got a plan. Hunter, meet us in Georgetown. Please have a CB or some sort of radio we can use to chat with you. We will have a blast.
Beretta we'll sort it out and be in touch. I was going to chat with Tim N. aka Nakman *probably not known as Nakdude (inside joke)* about campsites and figure it out.

Bill, Whatcha thinkin?

Plan has been solidified. Please post up intent to participate and where you plan to meet us so I can take a tally and know who to wait on. If you don't post up and want to meet us feel free to, just plan on finding us and realize my plans while they seem solid are always subject to change!!!!

Hoping to make this one at least for part of it. Thanks for the detailed schedule I may be looking for you in Idaho Springs on Saturday.

Alrighty folks, First post has been updated with what I know about you guys (a few new people to me) and where I plan to look for you. Again, timing is approximate so if you plan on finding the group just realize that. Use your ninja tracking skills. Jimmy, call out on the radio, hopefully we can hook up. I'm not 100% sure we'll stop by smokin' yards but for now it's my plan. If we are running late we may skip it.....

I'll call out on the radio if I need to, I'll be on HAM.

I just stopped by the Littleton CO Parks & Wildlife office to get my OHV permit and just want to make sure I got the right one because it looks different than the green one I've seen. And where do I stick it? She said inside the windshield but it's clearly made to be on the exterior.

Awesome!

No idea where to put it. Throw it in the glove box, we'll discuss over a beverage at the fire Saturday night. So far there are like 3 different versions floating around.
