Question, My better half has made plans that evening. I am assuming being back by 4:30 is safe? Yea I would think so, I have a ton of fudge room in there. If it’s close, cut out at lunch.

Ken, you'll need to leave early to be back by 4:30. The bottom of Hackett is about 3 hours from my house. With a group, it will be longer. The last time I led (2014) we left Deckers Store just after 9am and we were airing up in the dark..... still 1.5 hours from home.

We’ll be going through west creek at about 9:30. If you want to meet us at the intersection of Westcreek rd. And Abbey ave (about 9 miles south of Deckers) that should work.

Great, thank you Jackson. Looking forward to meeting some new LC enthusiasts. Calling for snow on Thursday and Saturday in the Sedalia area!

That would make things interesting, it was bone dry Sunday.

Situations beyond my control will prevent me from making this run. I have always wanted to do it. Maybe next time.
Post a lot of pictures

Before the fire

I have a bunch of pictures of Hacket and Longwater prior to the fire. I used to run them all the time when I lived in C-Springs in the 90s. Unfortunately, very few of them are digital...old school man!

There will be elements of the Mile High Yota Squad down there at the same time, probably running the same trail. Say HI.
There's going to be a lot of Yotaas down there this weekend...

Radios tuned and ready, we'll meet you at the Hackett trailhead around 1015, meeting up in westcreek is pretty out of the way for us after mapping it. Be two 80s, one black and one white.
