depending on how much stuff I can get done around the house between now and then, I may be up for this. What time you thinking of heading up?

 

[in4aride]

I'll be up there early. I'll be sorting out a time with the others either today or tomorrow.

I was just up there last week. I'd go again but my Sunday is full.

 

[in4aride]

How was it? Heard it was a bit sloppy?

We are thinking trailhead at 8 for those interested.

 

[friscokidd]

trail head at 8, dam that's early!! In4aride, wanna meet up and carpool for the way up there? I have only been there once before and I get lost easily haha

 

[in4aride]

We're trying to beat traffic. And know that saying that means everyone will be there 9. Lol.

Sure. I'll be coming from aurora.
Only been twice myself so be a group effort. Lol.

It wasn't bad at all. Depended on how much rain comes through the night before.

It was somewhat dry the night before we went up. But that still left us tracking up damp sand onto the first obstacle which didn't help with traction. Still, no one in our group had to strap or winch. Just straddle the V notch to the left and cut it right towards the top and you can make it right up.

Oh, and be sure to air your tires down more than I did. I tried going up the middle with way too much air in my tires and didn't get any traction.

Looked a little stiff there. I need to sit down a ton anyway to break these tires in some more.

 

[ThatGrimmJeeper]

Yeah, I aired down to 15 or so before leaving camp in Empire. Drove all the way to the trail head. Double checked the pressure later in the day and it was up to 18. Definitely should have checked pressure when I got to the obstacle.

 

[friscokidd]

in4aride, you driving or towing up there? Want to meet up at the T&A Truck stop off ward and I-70?

 

[in4aride]

Just gonna drive. Need to get the cooling system and hydro a work out. Make sure everything is good.
Yeah we can do that. What time would work for ya.

 

[in4aride]

Edit. Gonna tow. Didn't realize I had few people riding with me. So gonna tow.

 

[friscokidd]

ok cool. it will take me about 15 mins. to get to the truck stop, so what ever time works for me.

 

[in4aride]

Copy that. I'll likely leave my place like 7 ish

 

[friscokidd]
