Haha. Shaggy is everywhere. He's been leeching off us for years. :D

Well, this would be a fun trip. It is clear of snow if anyone wants to go on Saturday. Are there any other trails in the Montezuma area that you would like me to check out tomorrow? To see if they're not snowcovered anymore?

Can you run Holy Cross to see if there's any snow?

I can do Saturday and Wheeler sounds good to me since Adam blocked the trail last time and I never saw the friggin lake ;)


I agree, if we can get past that first obstacle with the tree then it should be doable.

Aubs - I was kidding, you should not run Holy Cross alone from what I have read. Unless you want to throw caution to the wind... :D

Wheeler is by Motezuma? Motezuma is where Webster and Red Cone passes are. Also Radical Hill.

Oh, really? I was all set up to go...:p I have seen the pictures, and I realize that I would not be able to do that alone. I have far too little experience. In fact, I'm friggin' surprised I managed what I did today without damaging anything important...

So I could probably meet you guys at the parking lot on the way back around the reservoir. Or try to catch you as you come into Breck and join the convoy.

I'll try to make it, if that's alright. I'll probably need a head start since I can't go as fast as you gassers. ;)

OK, so I just read a FEW trip reports on wheeler. It is only 3/4 the way open and they are claiming only "very well equipped" rigs will make it that far and not really anyone is getting to the lake yet.

We could run TWIN CONE.....??? It is in the same general vicinity kinda and is a fun trail...............

I just dont think we should drive to wheeler lake if it is not open to the top.

Well, I thought the V was the last obstacle. Apparently, it's not quite all the way? I suspect that the trail is open most of the way, as a lot of the trails in that area have cleared. On the Breckenridge side, there is still too much snow on all the trails.

I would say that we should be able to make it up all obstacles, however the V will obviously need a spotter. If it is shut, there are plenty of other places to go nearby.

Yes, I like the sound of that. I really don't think there will be too much snow, but I have been wrong before!! :D So just bring a shovel you sissies.

Hey, what time/where should I meet you, seeing that I'm on the way there?

I just dont think we should drive to wheeler lake if it is not open to the top because I am a sissy girl, and I am afraid my 'equipment' isn't large enough. And I have a Jeep.


:D :p
