I am going to keep an eye on this also, it's not "close" to be but way closer than anything out west. I need to get started and would love some compatriots to join in with!

Hoping this is a good long distance shake down for my midJuly Colorado run!

It’s a multi night trip but I will publish the route on the day we launch....roughly we will be hitting a Offroad Park each day of the trip...you can run all or part of the route...it’s designed to be flexible...

Do you know what day you are planning on the volunteer work at Redbird?
I wouldn't mind helping out.
Keep me updated

Perfect I'm off that weekend.
Keep me updated and anything to bring.
I have a 2 wd truck, but I’ve done a pretty fair amount of off road driving. This trip isn’t just for the 4wd crowd is it?
Explorer I
Nope...anyone can go...the roads are rough but passable by most any two wheel drive

As some of you know I am a teacher in Jefferson County Kentucky. If you have been following the news out of Kentucky you will realize that teachers have been locked in a 3 year battle with our Governor over our pensions. Over this semester teachers have stages 6 days so far of sick outs. These sick outs have caused the school year to be extended. How is this relevant to you? Well it has caused me to have to move the dates of the inaugural running of the THOR twice already. I know many of you have planned your vacation times around this event. Because of my contractual agreement with the district I must stay in school until the last day. I regret that I will have to move the official running of the THOR to June 15-19. I realize this is a major inconvenience for many. If you would still like to run the THOR the weekend of June 8-12 I will release the route on June 7th as originally planned so that you can still keep your plans. I will be at Buzzard Roost on the 8th to meet and greet and host the first sections of the THOR from Buzzard Roost to Interlake and back. Then on Sunday I will lead the next leg of the Route to Redbird. On June 14 I will be at Buzzard Roost to lead the full trip. For those that will be able to reschedule I hope it will be worth the wait. Please understand that this situation is out of my control. I have provided to link to a news article about the situation. I appreciate the trust people have put into me for this trip and apologize once again. I can't wait to finally meet all those that have been corresponding with over the last few months.
Thanks,
Jason

Kentucky teachers are calling out sick to protest bills in Legislature - CNN
Several Kentucky school districts were closed Thursday after teachers called out sick to voice their opposition to a bill they believe will benefit private schools at the expense of underfunded public schools.
