No better way to start off 2022 than a New Year's Day Run!
Date: Satuday January 1, 2022
Location: Snow and weather dependent. Years past it has ranged from snow bashing, to more recent Pawnee Grasslands (sometimes brutally cold and windy, othertimes warm and sunny). I hope it snows, but the way it is looking we may be able to get to the high country.
Schedule: Plan on a full day. This will also be your excuse to not drink too much on NYE and get to sleep early!
Trail hours will be logged!
EDIT 12/30/21:
At long last – a plan (All suggestions still welcomed.):
Meet outside O’Brien’s Café in Sedalia (it will be open, I have asked). 5585 US-85, Sedalia, CO 80135
Fill up at a gas station before Sedalia. There is the Sedalia Conoco but I would not want to stake my whole day on it being open. Top off there.
Depart 9:15. So get there before that to chill.
We will take 67 to West Pine Creek Road (at the famous Sprucewood Inn) and then down W. Pine Creek Rd (40) down to the S. Platte River (97) over to Deckers. At Westcreek we will hop off pavement (yea!) and head toward Phantom Creek, Signal Butte. We’ll play some there and then all go have hot Cocoa with @Jameson. We can then continue back onto Phantom Creek, Signal Butte, but if that sucked we can go over to and back up Rule Ridge or take 24 into Woodland Park and then back up 67. Time and weather permitting we’ll go play some in Illinois Gulch / Rainbow Falls. Or maybe we’ll play there before Phantom Creek if the day is moving right along.
Please be well prepared for cold and snow. Could be 6-12 where we go through. Hopefully!
Goal is fresh air, fun, good people. 4x4 adrenaline and a few challenges a plus! Always happy to exercise my recovery skills.
We’ll use HAM/FRS/GMRS depending what people have. I will bring extra FRS to share.
