Me personally, I've got my own priorities and planning a bunch of trips for other people isn't one of them.
Then you shouldn't be on the board.
Pretty soon is going to be California, the Midwest and jack else.

Some: I'm pulling info off an archived version of the old Trail Damage (that site is a little finicky) and copying into a Word Doc, playing with the formatting.
We'll see how this looks...

Driving Directions
From Ft. Collins, take Highway 287 around LaPorte. Take Highway 14 left at Ted's Place and go about 25 more miles until you see a sign for the Kelly Flats campground on the left. There is a large parking area immediately to your right where you can air down. The trail starts right away from there.
I'll probably link to the respective Ranger Districts' MVUM.
Mike, just pick a bunch of trails and set the dates. Ask Dutch, me, even you, anyone who made a trail run last year. You are not going to get hardly any participation regardless of what you choose. So there is no point in doing a ton of research on whats out there. The one trail cleanup was the only run where we even got a noticeable group of people out. Dutch lead one of runs and like one dude in a Wrangler showed up. Just make a list and be done with it, people will come or they won't.
I'll take all the help I can get!Then you shouldn't be on the board.

Kids will do that to you, but my son slept just fine in his stroller in the garage.
Any more progress with the list?
Well that got interesting real quick, didn’t realize how few people showed up to planned runs last year.
If there’s a trail cleanup again please post it so I can get my kids out of the house and it the mountains.
We have to do two Adopt-a-Road runs before September 30th to meet our agreement.
I'll take the trail list and set up polls tonight, leave the homework for later.
Spoke with Dutch and we both agreed no Colorado fest this year
Might as well put up the vote to dissolve the chapter. Coloradofest isn’t just for the locals. It’s for other areas and, arguably more importantly, for the sponsors. It’s an opportunity to get stuff from the sponsors as well as give back by exposing people to product they may not otherwise buy, and gives them photos to show as part of their involvement. The bitching about getting no products for cofest has been ongoing for a while. After no event at all, good luck.
If you agree no cofest, just close the chapter. IMHO.
You are more than welcome to organize Colorado fest if you like, I have minimal vacation time and I don't have a week off to attend.
Oh you mean post up trail ideas and dates with a timeline for ease of the BOD for y’all to not talk about for a month now and then want to change to fit what you think will be best? Ha. I’m good. This is why I left BOD. Y’all act like it’s so hard to do shit, then get pissy if someone call you out on it. What has BOD accomplished so far this year now that we are starting the 5th month of the year? Seems like it’s been a whole lot of nothing. Even attempts to stir conversation ends with silence between the bod. Maybe instead of trying to get members and users to participate more, how about y’all start with yourselves? Total dumpster fire.
That’s MY plans for what will be doing with myself and a few folks I know.
If you want to join. Great. Want it to be cofest. Great. Want to change and do your own shit. Great.
Here’s a plan. Take it or ****ing leave it. This piddle paddle bullshit is why it’s mid April and nothing has been set up at all yet.
