Co Thanksgiving break trip

[Asaspades93]

agreed [MENTION=21950]sn0wrunner[/MENTION]. This is the overview of the trailwith carnage canyon in blue http://www.traildamage.com/trails/chinaman_gulch/maps/map_medium_2.gif
I'm hoping [MENTION=89400]MrHentoni[/MENTION] will let me crash on his couch cause it would make my drive down there much better, but we'd still be 2 and a half hours away

two options:
We can run one or 2 small trails saturday and get onto the loop of Chinaman before dark to set up camp
or
run smaller trails satuday, camp at Chubb park or Bassam park and run Chinaman sunday morning and afternoon

I think the second option would be best as we could sort of have a relaxed day and get to know each other better and then spend a whole day at chinaman.

I'm in for the second option. Also, if no one is opposed I have a buddy that may want to join, but he does wheel a jeep... Not sure if we're going to keep this strictly 4Runners but I do have a few people that would probably be interested if we're going to open up to others. Personally it'd be cool either way.

Maybe... likely not camping though. With a large group and snow, it might be best to split into groups

 

[derpiful]

Won't be making Kelly Flats, but I'm probably able to join up for Chinaman's!

 

[Asaspades93]

Small groups aren't as fun though, but if it gets too big we can always figure it out. Just curious but is anyone interested in being a spotter/photographer? Riding near the front but helping out where needed and then hopping in with the last truck over, if that makes sense.
[MENTION=109684]heyoceanfloor[/MENTION] are you looking to test your runner?

 

[steezemcqueen]

Does anyone still want to do kelly flats tomorrow?

 

[MrHentoni]

My $450 alignment knocked out my spare funds for this weekend. I'm still in for Chinaman tho

Im assuming firestone wont touch your suspension and alignment because of lift? $170 for lifetime alignment.

It will be a mess with the snow we are getting in Fort Collins, without Heart Attack Hill that trail won't be as fun...

Sure! Thanks for thinking of me.

I'm definitely down to join, especially if I can convince the gf it won't be too cold

 

[steezemcqueen]

Eh. Snow just makes it more interesting.

I'm down to hit something else if anyone else still wants to wheel

Part of that was a lifetime alignment up at big o by toytec. Most of it was the inner and outer tie rods tho.

OH, did you just buy and get OEM ITRE's installed?

Even from Camelback, they are like $140 each or something.

 

[Asaspades93]

If we go closer to boulder I'm in for tomorrow, barely worked 20 hours this week so funds are low. Firestone wouldn't touch mine due to seized cam bolts, I hit them with pbb for a few days and broke them lose myself and took it to Toyota boulder. Only charged 70 to get it aligned and a few if the techs have 3rd Gens also

 

[smallfry]

I'm a no go for tomorrow.

 

[Aquafbody]

You name it im there.

 

[Asaspades93]

So this is going down in like 10 days :dance: needless to say I'm really excited. I've been thinking of a good meeting spot for all of us. Originally I was gonna crash in castle rock, but that would add another 40 miles to my drive. As I think most of the guys joining are around Denver I think the best place for most of us to meet would be by 285 and 470 and take 285 down to buena vista. As for [MENTION=82211]TCMach[/MENTION], we can meet on your drive down from Foco or you can crash on the couch if you want
Does that sound reasonable? or is there a better meeting place?
Also I want a definite list of whos gonna be going by the 25th so we can get a set plan.

 

[MrHentoni]

Obviously I'm in, depending on who else is going from Littleton I may crash up there. Where along 285 is everyone planning on meeting up

Keeping an eye on this. Might be able to make it one day but wouldn't be able to camp.
