Official Club Run Kingston Peak Trail Run PART 2 July 15

[Fisher67]

Just got to town. Where are we meeting?

Missed the start but I think I caught you all driving down fall river. Some great views can't wait to get to the high altitude when it opens mid-month. Was thinking of doing a combo trip up and over and to Rollins pass and needle's tunnel.

For those that missed it we hit a closed gate and had to turn around so we're going again this Saturday the 15th! Looking forward to it!

Thanks Jimmy, it looks like good weather and I think it's gonna be fun!

Those were from a run last year.

Count us in again (possibly in the Tacoma vs 4Runner this time , depending if son gets back from camping in time for the run). BTW, I may be in need of Post-run Air Up Assistance if he doesn't make it, as he's got my compressor. I may grab a Harbor Freight one tonight (to use then return), as a Plan B.

Not to add to any confusion but just saw a post from another 4x4 group about Kingston and Loch Lomond having a delayed opening. That it won't be the 15th. See if you can confirm.

You do realize that he is working hand-in-hand with the people who literally open the gates, right?

Yes I am aware. However communication with the forest service isn't always fast or timely. Hence last Saturday and why we ended up doing Bill Moore Lake instead of Kingston. Maybe you need a snickers bar this morning?

I have always been more of a PayDay kind of guy.

So yes Brandi we are aware of the possible delayed opening of the trail. I have been in constant conversations with both ranger Districts all week and today. The plan is to all meet at the CCRD office and convoy up to the gate, go through and they will close the gate behind until we have a clear trail to open. This is why it will be great if we can get as many trucks to drive through the snow and break it up as possible. The temps are higher now so it'll melt quicker. They will decide when to open the gates to the public after tomorrow, possibly Sunday. I will be meeting the BRD in Tolland and driving them up from the Boulder side in my truck as they're Jeep isn't equipped to do it. We will meet up with the group on the trail. They think most of the snow is on the top past the CCRD gate. It's gonna be an adventure not to be missed...

Sounds like a great day. Sorry we will miss this one. Dom loves driving through the snow.
