Going Back to Coney Flats

[MarkEva]

I am not an experienced trail leader and so I appreciate you all's advice. I am a good enough driver and spotter and all whom the hive mind have approved are welcome.

In my experience, just do it. It’s super easy to overthink being trail leader, have fun. Everything will work out how it’s supposed to. It is a skill like anything and the only way to get better at it is to do it.

At a drivers meeting it’s helpful to ask skill level or strengths of other drivers so it’s easier to delegate so you know who to lean on for certain tasks. You don’t have to be perfect at everything or do everything.

I agree, at the trail head the evaluation of drivers and rigs are necessary and the best decisions
will be made as a group. We will be in no hurry and a lot less traffic than before on Saturday. I feel
good about the adventure and I will be at the trail head about 8:30 -8:45 am. Should be fun.

Holy Mother of God, take that ball hitch off....

Mark, after following you on the Coney Flats section of the recent club run on Middle St Vrain/Coney Flats I can say you are qualified to lead a club run without reservation. My judgement comes with 25 years of experience being a part of club runs and leading same. I would follow your lead again.

I've been meaning to ask, what kinds of things should / are people bringing for the Happy Hour?

 

[MarkEva]

I will be bringing Gin, Tonic, etc.
Do you have a propane campfire? That would be nice.
Sweet Corn that was picked Monday morning.
Ripe Colorado Stone Fruit.
A Watermelon you put in the creek to cool off.
Stephen, you can't go if that hitch is still on.

So two days with one overnight. If the trip was longer I would join.

I might stay an extra day or 2 if I'm having too much fun, not sure if I'd move camps to explore somewhere else just depends what's up there and if somewhere looks fun lol.

I suppose I can leave my emotional support hitch at home... lol.

Personally I don't drink so I'm not going to bring any alcohol. I always bring too much but I have an ooni pizza oven I'll bring, a camping grill, and and a 2 burner camp stove. I'm going to bring pizza ingredients to make fresh pizzas because I can, and I like pizza lol. I'll bring enough pizza to share or at least to make some cheese bread as a side if people want it lol.
