3rd quarter M&G, 07/19

[Fred]

A clean up date on Kingston Peak trail.

Meet at the Clear Creek Ranger Station, 9:00 AM:

101 Chicago Creek Road
Idaho Springs, CO 80452

Please bring enough clothing for any weather condition, sturdy shoes, gloves, hat, and enough drinking water for two days. Also, snow shovels might be a good idea.

Tom, you had bunches of those clean up bags, can you bring them?

Post up if you can make it.

 

[Hypoid]

In like Flynn!

 

[YELLAHEEP]

Damn. Can't make it.

 

[Hypoid]

Damn. Can't make it.

Can I borrow your MJ trailer? I hate putting trash in the back of the mommy-mobile.

 

[UnlimitedMatt]

Sorry, I can't make it either. I'll be in Texas for Davids graduation from Basic Training.

 

[Hypoid]

It is short notice, but all we have to do is get two runs in for the season.

Sadly, I will be house bound from the 25th, through most of August. After that, we need to set a date for the second run, before September 30th.

As this is also a M&G I say we go to either Tommy Knockers or BeauJo's for dinner.

I have a trailer I can bring to toss the trash in. I should be able to make it.

Mike, what's all involved in the clean up? Just picking up litter? Are we working on fences? Moving rocks?

Do we leave our vehicles at the bottom and hike the trail with just a collection vehicle following?

 

[Fred]

Purty sure we're driving the trail. My jeep is down as of now, I will try to rectify.

 

[Hypoid]

Yep, we are driving FS Road 353.1, Trail Damage says it is 9.5 miles long. I have not asked for any prior history for trail maintenance. The typical run involves picking up litter and filling out the monitor form.

Rich, I was going to see about borrowing a small trailer that has reasonable ground clearance. If you are confidant that your trailer will survive without mishap, I'd like to keep the option open.

I've never been to Tommyknockers or BeauJo's, who is buying?

Umm... Your buying.

My trailer will do just fine and it's plenty large to hold a bunch of trash.

I'm going to get with some friends who want to camp that weekend and see if they'll help. If so then I'll probably camp there too.

Hit up Glacierpaul @ Frontrange, he might know of some good campsites in that area.

I talked to 1freaky1 over the weekend. He might ride shotgun with me on this trip. Although, it would be ironic if his full size Bronco participated in a adopt-a-road day.

My JK will be there.

 

[DutchVDub]

3rd quarter M&G, 07/19

So is it just you and me Mike?

I'll be there in the JK with my trailer. I'll have 2 dirt bikes in the trailer but there is still plenty of room for some trash bags.

 

[Hypoid]

It looks that way. Lets plan on packing our own lunches.

After we get the first run completed, we have time to plan for September.

 

[Fred]

Ahem, my jeep is gassed up. Where are we meeting? At the address given? or at the trail head?

 

[Hypoid]

At the address given, Fred. The volunteer coordinator will meet with us and cover a few safety topics before we get underway.

Meet at the Clear Creek Ranger Station, 9:00 AM:

101 Chicago Creek Road
Idaho Springs, CO 80452

I'll PM my cell number in case the traffic sucks.

EDIT: Thanks for coming up!
