Trail Bum

Thanks everyone for your work to put this trip together. Bummed that it's not happening, but I do understand and agree why. Looking forward to meeting you all on another run or this run in the future.
All NM NF and SP campgrounds are closed, d/t fire risks. My experience for a Cimmaron traii over Valle Vidal to Costilla went out the door with Gate closures. Had to take an immediiate coursee of action.My calendar just pinged me reminding me this trip was supposed to be this weekend, sucks it didn't work out!
What is the update on conditions down south? Are things getting any better for the folks near the NM border? Looks extremely dry from every article I can find.
Definitely interested in the October option.
Fingers crossed for everyone! Also that this doesn't turn into flooding/washouts.There is actually a warning for “Heavy and torrential downpours”
The 10 day has significant rainfall every day except Monday. If that holds, train will be running again soon.

That is not my family pic above but we have also done Handies as a family. It’s a pretty easy 14er. No scrambling. Just 2400’ of hiking up a trail.Corbet, congrats on dragging the whole fam up there. I think my favorite hikes in my life are when my kids are with me.
You should ping me if you roll through Creede btw.
Mind you, my daughter is setting up right now in South Colony to hit the Needle tomorrow.
