The plan for day one (July 21 - Wed) is as follows:
7:30 Al Bockman will meet any one who has their trailer at his lot or is staying at the Denver Hotel (Comfort Inn 303-367-5000). If you are in this group, email Al at
ad303@yahoo.com so you can work on details. Who, what, when and where. OK?
8:30 AM. Meet at LaMars Donuts. 11804 Oswego St. (Lincoln Ave., just east of I-25) Meridian Village Shopping Center (Same one we were at for the LaMars Donut Run). We will be leaving LaMars in groups of 10 cars. With the last group to leave about 9:00. We will pass out your maps and info packets at LaMars. (If you are not going to be at LaMars - let me (thompson660@cs.com) know and I will bring your maps with me)
10:00 AM. Aspen Park - Park n Ride (By the Big Hot Dog) Pick up anyone from west side of town who wants to meet us there. Also a potty stop at near by gas stations.
10:45 AM Fairplay Gas stop at the gas station where Dick always breaks down. The one at the corner of Hiway 285 and HiWay 9. You will spot us because of all the tow trucks.
12:00 Noon Lunch in Salida. On your own, so you pick.
2:00 PM Should be at Hotel - Grand Lodge - 970-349-8000
2:05 PM Rain Starts
We are planning on starting each day at about 8:30 with Groups of ten and have the last group out by about 9:00 AM.
Weather report looks like our best chance of rain is Weds. in Crested Butte. Also Weds. is the coolest temps with a high in Crested Butte of only 70. The rest of the week only a 10% chance of rain with highs in the mid 80's (love it when a plan comes together). Then Sunday when we get back to Denver it is supposed to be in the high 80's or low 90's (Hot)
Let me know if you got any ideas or questions.
Dick
