We can sort that out. I can run APRS if you have HAM. Can also arrange to send coordinates via Garmin InReach

APRS works for me. Do you want to pick a repeater frequency or should we just use one of the rising sun usual frequencies?

I have to give up my spot once again this year. :mad:
Wife booked us a camping trip up to the Black Hills the same weekend (and she won the argument). Maybe next year. :unsure:

That's a problem worth having - but you will be missed!

Why, why can I never seen to make it to this one?! My 4Runner will be in the body shop on those days so unfortunately I'll have to miss out on this one....again! :mad:

Is there a GPS track planned yet? I'd be interested to check one out if available.

I'm still using paper maps ( ok, with some Google Earth). So either you'll have to wait for the run or use these highlights: Cordova Pass, Spanish Peaks, Hermit Pass and the Cloverdale Mine.

Ah bummer you cant make it! The Black Hills are fun though. Should be a good time of year to be out there, and a lot less snow than when we were out there.

Bummer Dan! Glad to hear your getting the 4runner fixed!

So realized I haven't posted in this thread in a bit. Getting excited for the run now that summer is upon us ( even if things aren't quiet back to normal).

As for the run, planning on one main change- rally point. Now that i'm back to work and doing 5 day work weeks instead of 4, i'm going to head down Thursday after work and plan on camping some place close by. The rally point for Friday the 24th is still the same: The old building that currently serves as the Apishapa Valley Heritage center for Aguilar, CO. I do have Sunday off so planning to be there for the full weekend.

Here is my current list of attendees/ wait list. Please chime in if you can make it or not, so others may be able to join.

Thanks for the update. So was this originally to start with meeting early Thursday, maybe even camping Wednesday night July 22rd to make it easier to meet early the 23rd? So you are shortening the trip by a day, or am I confused?

Aguilar is three hours from Denver by highway, so meet at what time?

https://spanishpeakscountry.com/the-apishapa-valley-heritage-center/ looks cool. "open Thursday through Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm and also by appointment by calling 719-680-1393" 151 Main Street, Aguilar, CO 81020

People who have Thursday already blocked off for this trip, unless I am confused, I'd still be up to still meet or leave early Thursday or camp Wednesday night.

Thursday was planned to be a pre meet up to the official run. Me trying to make the most of the weekend, but now that i'm working that day....

Unfortunately I have had something come up this weekend and I'll need to bail on this run.

I hope this is enough notice that someone on the waitlist can take my spot!

I'm still on the wait list, but have to drop out. One of my co-workers took vacation time, and I have to cover...

Damn...I hope there is someone that can go in my place, but this kitchen pass just got revoked. I can no longer make this run. So sorry for the late drop but my 80+ year old parents sold their house and are moving. They think they are moving themselves!!! Family is heading to help them.

I don't have CB installed. We'll make it work for you one way or another!

I'll be in the area.

146.460?

Well be on 146 unless the Space station traffic gets to be too much. Come by and join us if you can!

If for any reasons at all and space available. I am 20 min away, have a little knowledge about the area. Would love to meet any/all of you, do a little exploration. A last minute call, no sweat.
