Anyone planning on going wheelin this weekend?

[DutchVDub]

Just wondering, I would like to go on Sunday to test out my lift. I should have it installed Friday, but might need saturday to get an alignment. I have no real preference as to where we wheel, as long as its a fun trail.

'm planning on runnin chinaman on sat or sun I could make it sunday I guess couple other guys comin with me. You are more than Welcome. send me a
PM and we'll talk

[DutchVDub]

Chinaman Gulch or Chinaman in Buena Vista? I'm down for Chinaman Gulch, its not too difficult is it. I'll be unlocked on 32's w/ a 4.5" lift and stock gears.

Chinamans Gulch is near BV.....I think the other trail you are thinking of is China Wall near Jefferson

Howcome you Colorado natives let this Illinois flatlander learn so much about your trails anyway? :D

[XJNOOB93]

Chinamans gulch is too far away for me =[[[[ too bad. Dang Ive wanted to wheel there for a while now.

[Frank Z]

I may head down to Penrose if I get the new bumper finished.

Hes continually snuck in from the East. We don't have a big rock wall on that side. Though we should build one.............:idea:

[jdogg4]

I ran carnage last weekend so my gas allowance is busted for the year.

But I'm also up for something closer if that would help some of you all out. I'm open for Ideas!! Went up to eaglerock last weekend and it was still snowed in. Did saran wrap instead(lots of fun but to short.)

[Frank Z]

Oh hell no!! Liberty is on the menu but it depends on whether or not anyone else goes.

not with my rig, wouldn't make it.

[DutchVDub]

I don't know where Liberty is and its not in either one of my "Guide To CO Back Roads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails".

[DutchVDub]

I'm down for Chinaman's Gulch, although the gas drain will suck, anything near Idaho Springs area would be great. It would allow me to stop by Tommy Knockers for a pint. :)

[Frank Z]

It's part of the Independance Trail System just outside of Penrose, CO.

35's, lockers, winch/recovery gear, and expect some body damage.

Who's in?

[DutchVDub]

Ouch, not me then. No lockers, no winch, no front tow hooks, and only 32's. But I do already have body damage. :D

traildamage.com has a rather extensive write up and a TON of pics, looks like fun but way out of my league with this setup.

JD (719)313-0005:peace:

[DutchVDub]

Well I'll probably try and make it down there too, I'll meet you guys in the Springs. What exit is that KFC off of?

[jdxj]

Come S on I25 exit 141
go west on SH 24
R on 31st
1st left is Colorado and the KFC is on the SW corner

[DutchVDub]

cool man, i'll probably give you a ring sunday morning either way to let you know if i can make it

[jragan]

Need to verify with the rest of the family, however we will be up in the area and will more then likely meet you in JV. Will let you know before I leave out Friday.

[DutchVDub]

Alright, going to Slaughterhouse instead. I'll have to make it down to Buena Vista some other time.

[MILEHIGHXJ96]

ILL be going to rampart in sadalia sunday to test out my new SYE and BDS springs

[DutchVDub]

Hey man, gas is a bitch. Its 60$ to fill my Heep up now, thats bullshite. You guys should come up and do Slaughterhouse as well, its closer for you then Chinaman too.

Is it really closer I just was looking at a map. Looks farther. Plus my buddie just put lockers in and really wants to test em out. How would I come to SH from the springs?

[DutchVDub]

Well i just googled it, looks like if you go via I25N to C470 to H285 its about 102miles to Bailey w/ a 1hr43min travel time. Slaughterhouse is before Bailey.

The shorter route would be to take US24 W to CO-67, go right and follow to CO-126/Deckers Rd, follw that to US-285 and go Left towrds Bailey. That route is 73.9miles to Bailey, but has a travel time of 1hr58min most likely because of the smaller nature of the little highways.

According to Google Buena Vista is about 93.4miles and 2hr03min from Colorado Springs. So even if you take the shorter but slower route to SlaughterHouse its still faster than Buena Vista. :D

[jdxj]

Well I'll talk to my buddy but most likly we'll still go to Chinamans. If not I'll post up the change of plans. otherwise I'll still be at the KFC @9:00

[DutchVDub]

:thumbup:

[jragan]

JD if you don't mind I am going to take your phone number and check with you Saturday (if I can get cell signal) to verify if your running Chinamans. We are heading out this afternoon so will not be able to check the board.

[jdxj]
