Not sure if anyone normally posts a toy drive for this or not? But I'd like to share a run I'm planning in November for LOT, all are welcome to join!! Details:

Updated info: Trail changed to Yankee Hill outside of Central City.
Meeting at the parking area next to Loaf n Jug in Golden : 102 N Rubey Dr, Golden, CO 80403
At 11AM.
If you gas up at the Loaf n Jug, then please park in the adjacent area after you are done to keep the station clear of our traffic. (See screenshot attached). Bring your FRS/GMRS radios.

There's a killer bagel place right next door called Big Daddy Bagels, if you'd like to show up a little early.

🧸🪀Don't forget your unwrapped NEW TOY DONATION for the Caravan for Kids! 💝🎅🤶

This snow storm has turned out Trail run into a Snow Fest!! We will be caravaning up to Yankee Hill outside of Central City. We will head up to the large flat spot that is right before the first big obstacle hill. Once here, we will have a fun play in the snow day! Snow angels, & building snow men, & snowball fights, oh my! ❄️⛄☃️ Sleds & tubes will be fun too! 🛷❄️❄️ If anyone wants to attempt climbing up the chute and rocky section, we can practice snow recoveries. 🤣
Bring hot cocoa & wear lots of layers! I'll have a selection of cookies for everyone to enjoy while burning calories playing in the snow.
Central City is expecting snow accumulation of 8-10" with this storm!

I'll be leading a Slaughterhouse run on November 19th.
!!BRING A TOY!! We are going to have a fun day on the trail, the only requirement for you to attend is a toy donation for the Caravan for Kids.
We will meet at Loaf n Jug on Bulldogger Rd in Bailey at 10am.
the trail has a little something for everyone. 4 wheel drive required, but stock vehicles will do just fine.
Awesome! Wish I could be there. I’ll be bathing in tacos and race gas fumes.

right. I was thinking about more "historically"
Gotcha, well last year there was no snow until January. This year may be different. If this one isn't going to be doable there's other trails. 😁

I am definitely interested in attending if there is still room.

Always room for more! I'll keep this thread updated if the trail changes.

I'll be heading up likely Wednesday to check trail conditions & make final decision if this trail will be good for Saturday. So if anyone is available, or interested in taking a hookie day, let me know.

Another maybe. I'm solo with my son, so need to convince him to go wheeling...

Ok. With a prospective 5"+ of snow in Bailey from these two snow storms this week, I'd rather not turn an easy fun day into a potential safety issue, or a recovery fest. So I'll be scouting another trail Wednesday (today). I'll let you all know the outcome & details for the meeting location for this Saturdays run as soon as I have it pinned down. Thank you for your patience. And if anyone has the day off, let me know if you'd like to come scouting. I will be meeting one of my friends in Golden around 10/11am.

Also, forgot to add, there is a Jeep group going out to Slaughterhouse on Saturday that I know about. It sounded like a wonderful place for a royal cluster if anything went wrong.
