US Rocky Mountain 3rd Annual Buena Vista June Jam (Colorado Front Range)

[Boort]

Sounds great! Thanks Neal! I'm also curious about the elevation(s), and how cold it will get at night for camping. Looking forward to learning more details.

@HRunner

If we stay in a similar spot as the first event we'll be at about 9000-9200 feet. Temps are generally in the mid 30's at night and mid 70's during the day. But could just as easily snow or be in the 90's. (Possibly both in the same 24 hour period :D )

Thanks Boort. That's about what I was expecting, but good to know. Should be good!

Hurricane would be difficult, but torrential Rain and tornadoes are a possibility in early June. Hail, can be a problem if the storms come up from the plains at the wrong time. :D

We (wife and I) are at least planning on being there first thing 8:00 a.m. Saturday morning to join in on Saturday trail runs. I would like to leave right after work Friday but I'm not the one who has to work so might be asking to much. We plan on heading to Ouray first thing Sunday morning for a few nights (hoteling it) so we can explore the towns of Ouray and Telluride. It will be nice to see everyone and meet new friends.

Neal,

Any updates on trails being run or activities planned for the weekend?

 

[Neal A. Tew]

I'm in discussion with a couple guys at this very moment about potential program topics to add some variety.

My goal is to have trail info up today if life will stop interrupting.

Perfect!! Will keep an eye out. I am assuming the high elevation mountain passes will still be closed by then seeing the amount of snow CO got this winter?

May be attending this year, assuming the retirement is approved by then.

That would be great!

I added a little more event info today. Also, be sure to notice the poll at the top.

On an unrelated note, could I trouble a few of you to like/react to this post with something other than the thumbs up (if you're using a browser)? I'm testing something on the app.

 

[darjo242]

Can’t wait!!! Looking to get to the camp spot on either the 1st or the 2nd depending on why I get into fishing wise prior to that.

 

[Rick Louie]

I'm sad. I'm going to have to miss this event after all this year. Promised my daughter to do some college campus tours and this is the only time we can both get away.

 

[TroutRunner]

Just signed up. Looking forward to meeting you all.

It'll be great to have you, David!

This particular event has a base camp because people arrive at all different times.

We run it early in the season because if the high elevation trails are closed we can still do the Four Mile area.

I'd welcome any recommendations you might have.

Neal, is there any chance I can be put on your mailer so I can be notified of upcoming events. I won't be able to make the June event (will be out of town) but would like to participate in future events.

Thanks!

Randy

Randy,

The easiest way I know of to be notified of events is to choose the "WATCH" function on the related forum sections such as this one:

Overland Bound Meetups

Rally Point and other events.

www.overlandbound.com

Make sure notifications are enabled in your profile. If you haven't tried the PUSH notifications through the OB1 app give that a try.

Sorry to hear you can't make it, BTW.

Neal,

Plans in place for me to be at the spot we camped at last year. Will be there mid-day on the 1st., will be coming up from Salida.

If anyone else wants to meet up early, I have a couple scenic easy trails marked I want to check out,

 

[Iridium]

We will definitely be in attendance this year, looking like we wont be able to head out from FOCO until early Friday morning (doubt Dani will want to leave after work on thursday). This time camp set up wont take us any where near as long, and there might be a mischievous puppy joining us.
