This will be a repeat of info to some of you. Apologies.
This event has more interest than I expected. Most of you know that I find it nearly impossible to turn anyone away. I think the best way to accommodate a larger group while staying true to the original plan is just to run it in reverse. I won't go into the logistics, but it just works better that way. One key factor is that snow/ice could be a show stopper on the climb out of Colorado Springs. Last year there were significant incidents just a couple hours before we got there. By saving that until the end we can still have a good weekend and choose alternate routes back home should that one not be safe. For those coming from the Springs or north, your drive around will come at the beginning of the trip instead of the end. Accordingly, our Saturday start will be adjusted about an hour later to accommodate. I will advise when the Rally Point details are updated. Please let me know if this gives anyone any heartburn.
Also, please let me know if you'd be interested in camping Friday night also. I will probably go early to make sure to have the campsite available for the Saturday AM arrivals.
Thanks for being flexible. Start accumulating firewood!
