dscowell Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Curious to see if anyone would be interested in any trail runs this year. I'd be up for just about anything although the farther away it is the more I'd prefer it be more then one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdr1988 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 If you're interested, a few friends and I go to 7 mile memorial day weekend. We camp out and run the trail. Kelly Flats is also near there. If it's open this year that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscowell Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Sweet May be going there soon. I heard sevenmile doesn't have the closed sign anymore so for all I know is it is open. Kelly flats I have no clue. But if you go I'd be up for it if you go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdr1988 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Ok. We go memorial day weekend. 7 mile is almost always open at that time. Kelly was closed last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapn6.0 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Where is 7 mile? Any info on iut. I'd be interested in an overnight run. Should be up and running by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdr1988 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 It is up by redfeather. I live in Wellington north of fort Collins. It takes is about an hour and half give or take for traffic and hauling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdr1988 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I will have to check into that. I hope its open this year. Its a tradition of ours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdr1988 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 One thing I should add because we had the problem in the past, there are 3 water crossings that have been a little deep in the past, but I still make it through with my two wheel drive. I will have a couple cans to be safe, but I would advise having some wd-40 with you. Last year my roommate's distributor got water logged. It took two days to figure it out.

Trapn6.0 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 How deep is deep? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscowell Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Well when I went last year very beginning of June it wasn't deep at all I was all stock an made it just fine but I'm sure you would know better  I would say it's alittle higher then trail damage says but nothing extremely difficult http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trapn6.0 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Looks like it would make a nice trial run for my project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdr1988 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 The last one at the cleanings talking about is usually the deepest. I have a stock 2 wheel drive Comanche and I am able to make it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USAFAGumby Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 If any trips get planned later on in the summer I should have my Comanche up here after June and would love to go. Never been on a trail run before and the truck is 4X4 stock so something simple would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djdr1988 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Just letting everyone know, sevenmile is closed this year due to the flooding last year. We will be at Gordon's Gulch this year by Nederland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscowell Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 When are you going? Some people from front range 4x4 went up there about a week ago. Â http://www.frontrange4x4.com/forums/showthread.php?21330-GORDON-GULCH-5-17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COMJNUT Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 With the amount of rain that is hitting that area right now, I would be surprised if that area wasn't a mud pit the entire trail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellaheep Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 If we Colorado folks wanna get organized and do a meet & greet in Denver sometime, I have an RTI ramp I can bring. Good times can be had doing some parking lot flexing.......:D Â Â Image Not Found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COMJNUT Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 here's an idea: CORE, had easy stuff, has difficult stuff, has mud in certain places if you really want to play in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellaheep Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 CORE is such a long way out there though...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
