Well, I've thought about it long enough, it's time to set the dates for the Northern Colorado Mountain Run. There's a lot going on at about that time, and I wanted to try to avoid conflicts, but can't do it, so I'm going with my original plan.
Wednesday, July 20th will be mostly a day to find the site, set up camp, get acquainted and re-acquainted, and get things ready to go. We may make a short run to check out the beginnings of some trails, and/or see if the Forest Circus has their gates open yet, so we can go where I want to take you all.
Those who have run with me before, or even read the threads on prior NCMR's, may know that I don't pre-plan a lot, we just go where I feel like each day, or try to provide the type of trail that someone may request. We may stay fairly close to the campsite on Thursday and Friday, maybe even return to camp for lunch, then go out again, but we will be out all day on Saturday, that's the day that I try to save the best trip for.
Sunday, as in the past, for those who do not wish to pack up and head for home right away, we will do a short run.
You may notice that the Run is a day or two longer this year than in the past, it seems as if there's always someone who would like to get up there a day earlier and look around. If anyone wants to come up earlier than Wednesday, even as early as Sunday the 17th, I'll be glad to be there too. There's few places I'd rather be.
More details are coming, including directions to Cherokee Wildlife Area, Upper Unit, in future posts. If there are any questions, please ask, I'll be glad to answer.
