Planning the 9th Annual Colorado Trail Ride

[BusaDave9]

Rules

On the trails we all must follow the leave no trace rule. Please don't litter at all. I usually come back with other peoples trash.

Also stay on the trails. Many trails may be closed. There should be signs. Never go around any road blocks or we will be fined. Many trails have obstacles on the side of the tails that are okay to go over.

When we pull over Posi or myself will make sure to find a place everyone can pull over but we still need each driver to make sure they pull over where others can get by. Always assume someone will be coming along very soon.

There is a group of riders in side by sides on Facebook that are getting in trouble. They posted on-line that they went down Poughkeepsie Gulch (we always go up Poughkeepsie Gulch). This trail is supposed to be closed. They found it hard going but made it to the bottom. There they found a sign saying the trail was closed. They said "luckily someone cut the chain at the gate. Otherwise we would have never been able to go back up the trail." Their post was removed from Facebook and they were reported to the authorities. It sounded like most people on Facebook were ready to have these guys tarred and feathered. I hope they don't get into legal trouble. There were no signs at the top. The only gate is at the bottom. By the time the trail got very difficult there was no way they could come back up the way they came.

Here's how I pack, one little bundle for each day.

We’re waking up in Salt Lake City UT. Quite a eventful day of driving from central CA yesterday. Getting a new tire for the RV today, then on our way.

Heard from Coldair this morning, hes on his way too

For communication on the trail I think most of us have a BaoFeng radio. They work out good.

Just remember that this radio is an amateur radio and does require a license.

Yes we need a license. My call sign is KE0VEO others are also licensed. Thanks. Anyone wanting to use these need to take a test and get a license.

Safe and sound back on the Eastern US. Seems odd to not start the morning by hopping in the CJ for more trails. Once I get the photos uploaded I'll start posting some. Hope everyone else had a great week!
