Ghost Town Run, July 23rd-25th 2021

Dom of the dead and I are heading out now, going to first set of coordinates. We have our grms and ham with us. We also are bringing our pop up fire pit. We will keep an eye for other members on the way and at camp spots. Look for the blue taco. Safe travles, we look forward to seeing evryone.

I've got a family obligation that is going to keep me in town this weekend, so I'm out. Thanks for keeping me on the waitlist

My current plan is a 5-6 AM Friday Denver departure. That will be much more enjoyable for me than busting but today and arriving late anyway,. I'll find y'all in or around Creede. Ideally at Creede Historical Society Museum and Library at 9;30am on Friday the 23rd.

@RayRay27 texted me saying the site posted here is a weather station road and no-go. He sent me some coordinates that are on pool table road but they don't show any sort of camp. He said its about 1/2 mile before the coordinates here.

Good luck all!

Ray Romero is setting up at this site: N37.80197 W106.75469

LATITUDE, LONGITUDE: 37.802378, -106.769106

Its the site I spoke of here earlier. I am not saying I told you so. You said that already

Don’t know if there’s more monitoring, but we’re following the same plan as Daniel. Working late plus a long drive is no bueno. Leaving in the early a.m. planning on being at the rendezvous point on time, or early

Thanks for the update. I’ll be arriving around 8:15. Also, no firewood. I was running late and didn’t feel like loading it up in the rain. But I have a fresh 20lbs propane tank

It was great seeing a few of you yesterday morning - I bailed out early with intestinal distress, and just got home from an emergency appendectomy.

Hope you all have a great trip!

Man that's a drag! We didn't even get to meet you. Sorry to hear you were so sick. Hopefully your procedure went ok.

The message made it too us on trail and we were all very glad you took it seriously and headed home. On the other hand you weren't contagious and wish we would've given you a hand hooking up your trailer. Take care!

I found this guy today (first picture) and I believe these are the ones found on the ghost town run. It is not a death cap but a fly agaric, they are closely related to death caps (2nd picture). They are poisonous with physcoactive traits.

I have read this article a few times, I found it to be really interesting and informative about death caps. https://slate.com/technology/2014/0...s-spreading-but-poisoning-can-be-treated.html
