Yeah, Robbie said I could run 4 for a little bit. I found the parts locally so I am headed out to try to knock it out. It's complicated an already busy day. I hope we can still pull it off.

Good luck! Hope you can "git 'er dun!"

Wish I was going with on this one, but alas, my 40 proceeds at a glacial pace.

Hopefully for the 40s Run!

Ready to roll! Going to spend tonight in Leadville, then meet Saturday morning in St Elmo.

Assuming 146.46 HAM?

Late notice, I'd like to attend. (Would join up Sat. morning and camp). I seen people have dropped out, is there room for me?

Milehigh, please let this be your official invitation to take my spot! :thumb:

You won't want to miss it, Nathaniel and Perry put on GREAT runs! I have been looking forward to this for months and if it was just me it wouldn't be a big deal but with the wife and kids in tow, everything has to be more scheduled around naps and bedtimes...

I have just too much drama on my end. I spent all morning chasing a lug nut and wheel stud down without having to drive into Boulder (which would have been faster in the long run). Man, Toyota is proud of those Lug Nuts at $7/lug at O'Rieliys... it was $20 for one lug and stud at Mr. T! :eek:

No wonder cruisers are so expen$ive.

Sigh... have a blast. We might sneak out as a family for a drive tomorrow but my Ghost Town hopes are poof!

Perry and I have officially moved to RS-02 which is 146.580 as RS-01 which is 146.460 was having all sorts of static and feedback over here. I will probably be doing a scan monitoring both frequencies, so if anybody doesn't know the change we should still be able to get a hold of them. :yagi:

Sorry to hear about all the folks who had to drop out, hope you guys get fixed what you needed or keep moving on the project you're working on.

Meeting Spot? I see rd. 162 near Nathrop, which I believe is the road to St Elmo. Are we meeting at Hwy 285 and rd. 162 intersection, or is it up the road further?? I plan on being there at 830am or should I be there earlier. Thanks, Steve G.

guys, just got a call from someone who ran into Bruce Minney, he's broken down on the St. Elmo side of Hancock, thinks he needs a coil for a 350. If someone is headed out there, he needs some help- he is staying with the vehicle. I suspect if you drive over Hancock you will run into him.

I cut up and loaded 3 pallets to burn in the base of my trailer. A decent amount of wood, but with the amount of rain here in Leadville tonight, more will be needed

my 80 is running real hot, and don't want top take the time to replace the radiator. But dont be surprised if you hear "Squeaky" making noise through the woods :) ... So unpredictable, you just never know when it will show up... I may be leading a Jeep owner from Work over Hancock and TinCup saturday...

Thank You!!!!

Perry/Nathaniel,
My family and I would like to thank you both for providing us such an awesome weekend; we truly appreciate it. Your efforts on finding us a great base camp, securing it, creating us a well laid out trail guide book and leading us was phenomenal.

Thanks to everyone else for the great food, great memories and helping out with all of the additional things required to put this together. Your truly a great bunch of people. We look forward to another event like this in the future!!

Steven,Brittany & Ruby
