I'm going to be out there for the Full Size Jeep gathering in Ouray starting tomorrow through the 23rd. My J10 won't be making the trip. I'll be in the XJ. I'm sure I could talk a couple of the FSJ crew into running Black Bear on the 22nd.

Are you planning to run Imogene on the way back?

Not likely. While it's open there is a TON of snow up there so it's extremely muddy and slick. So with traffic it's very slow going.

OK. My mobile is 423-217-7445. I should have better steering by Monday. Current box and pump are questionable. Swapped the box I used last year over Black Bear and ended up with one that is looser. But it should be resolved by Monday. I am looking at coming down for Friday-Monday trail runs. Black Bear/Tincup/St Elmo. I might could have lockers wired up by Black Bear if it helps. I will plan on renting a room in Montrose or Ouray.

An other thing that kind of sucks now is that all of the commercial "Jeep tour" outfits down there have switched to full-size Dodge pickups with stadium seating in the back, making already narrow trails even more sketchy when you have to get by them.

Yeah, part of the slow going. Not a fan but it is what it is. Plus the idiots flying around in their rentals. No rush.

I just ran Imogene today. It's in pretty good shape. Not really muddy at all.

Looks a lot better than when we were up there last. Depending on time we may take it back over from telluride side.

Just fore warning it's been wet down here past few days so expect mushy and potential for higher waters at crossings. See ya Saturday morning.
