Come join us for a relaxing work day (I know, but compared to so many work days, these are easy, fun, and involve Snackster treats if we can get Nakman to come) at Argentine Pass.
In our adopt-a-road agreement, we signed up for at least two work days for the area per year. There have been hunter-built toilet facilities that need to be torn down and hauled out (no worries, they are not gross) so a pickup is helpful. We can also assess the area for things needing work or rerouting, more signage, and the like.
Argentine Pass is just above Georgetown and offers easy and extremely scenic four wheeling, and a great bouldery route following the creek almost to the mine area. It was the site of the Argentine Central Railroad, which used the now Georgetown Loop Trestle to climb in elevation and went all the way to the divide as a tourist route. We will explore mine buildings, and if the snow is melted enough we might even get to peek over the top of the divide into the Keystone valley area.
Bring gloves, shovels, hammers, lashing straps, a hardhat if you happen to have one, good boots, three-season clothing (maybe four season depending on the weather) and lunch and water.
We will meet at 9AM at the trailhead, on the Guanella Pass road above Georgetown. Be there or be square!
