Attn: Colorado Guys!
I know it's short notice and Thanksgiving week, but for those if you like me that have nothing planned for that weekend yet, I have a plan.
I'm setting up a run on Saturday the 30th of November (Thanksgiving weekend). Anyone down to hit a trail or two that day?

Ha, whoever wants to come can come. I just thought I'd put it out there on the 3rd Gen.

I was going to leave that up for debate. I live in Black Forest (just north of the springs), so the less driving, the better. I've done Illinois Gulch a coupe times. Decent little trail. Any ideas?

Depends on the trails because my truck is stock (for now, too) so I don't want to get in over my capabilities. I'm in SW Denver so hopefully nothing too far

There is a relatively simple trail in Monument called Illinois Gulch. It's an easier trail with lots of mud and a few spots with more difficult rocks. It's known for "The Steps" aka "Moab Hill". But we won't even dare to hit that in stockies. But that trail might be our best option.

Can you get there from Monument? I always take HWY 67 out of Woodland Park.
We ran that trail a couple of weeks back and it is in good condition, just dusty. With he recent snow the dust should not be a problem. I would expect a lot of ATV and dirt bikes that weekend if the weather is nice.

Oh goodness, yes. Woodland Park. That's what meant. That could have been a bad misdirection. But yes, out of Woodland Park.

Meaning, you just bypass that one difficult part?
I might be down for that run considering the football game I want to watch is late at night. I'm stock, FYI.

My 4runner isn't stock but I mostly just work on it and never wheel it so this sounds awesome to me! I'll try to make it

Jeez, no matter where I am - CO or UT - I'm always at least 2 hours north of where people are gonna be wheeling 
Maybe we can Skype and run trails at the same time and it'll be like I'm there

That's part of the "Rainbow Falls" area... a decent local play area. You should pick up an OHV map... there's a pretty decent trail system up there that you could make a loop out of. I'd show up, but I'll be watching our 15-week-old and he's just not ready for a day of wheelin' yet! ;-)

That's how it always seems to work out, it's so lame!

If anyone wants to run that day, PM me I guess. Too few people can commit. I've got a variety of other vehicles coming from family and friends so I won't be too lonely lol. Anyone is welcome though.
