Light rail to Arapahoe Perry, I got ya covered

Cool will see you there. Try and get there around 8am.

Perry et al,

We authorized up to $150 last night for food for the volunteers for this event. The taco bar worked really well last time.

Also, see Scott's note here:



Please check that out when you're up there on Sunday.

Thanks!

Will be sure to check it out. As far as food, would somebody be able to grab something before tomorrow? Have to work today so I wont have any time.

Put me down. I am planning on being there.

Cool.


Depending on trail conditions with the current weather, i'd like to try and get to McClellan. Want to re-create a photo. Also would be nice to get to the top of the pass, cant remember the last time I was up there.

Lame.

Thanks to everyone for making it up today. Sure felt good to get up there. And thanks to Matt for letting me take the 40 out for a drive, way to much fun! Trail is looking real good, other than Scotts campsite. We filled up a few trash bags. Snow on the pass.

Sorry for not being on top of the food part, hopefully do better next time.

Did we have a full representation of 40s or did Rick drive the T100?

Lookin' good cruisin' the 40 there Perry!

Welcome to the solid front axle world

It was a great day of wheeling. The trash at that site was incredible. No regard for the environment at all. Big pile of trash blowing and spread into the woods and creek. I, for one, would like to see those pigs held responsible or at least looked in on by the forest service. It's that kind of carelessness that ruins open spaces for everyone. I'm am glad we got up there and picked it up though.......it was still a great trip!

 

[JadeRunner]

Thanks for getting up there and doing that. Well done!

So were the pipe workers completely gone? Leaving you with a big cleanup job? We definitely want to pass that on to the forest service.

All in all, it was a great day of wheeling and cleanup. Here's a few more pics:

Scott- The workers still appeared to be occupying the site

Cool, thanks for the pictures Rick! I already let Brant know about the trash, I know he wants to look at that spot on the 18th.

 

[TonkaToy]

Awesome. Perry took several pictures of that mess too.

 

[bh4rnnr]

Heres a pic of most of the mess. Looks like the guy is living there part time while working on the pipes. Yes it's good to get the leaking pipes fixed, but bad to leave trash. Think Brant should fine the casino.

Any idea what time we should be done on Thursday?

As in, think I can make it back to Idaho Springs by 3PM? I'm trying to figure out if I can help out a friend at work...

Dan, I think between Martin and I we can carry the 3 rangers, so you can leave anytime you need to in order to get back! I would be surprised if we were done with everything the rangers want to get done by 2pm (so you can get back by 3pm), so if you need to bug out early you'll just have to plan for that.

Will do.

See you Thursday!
