Argentine Pass, Jul 1 or Jul 8...who's in?

[twalker920]

Which of the Colorado peeps are up for Argentine Pass in the next couple weeks?

I'm thinking either Sunday July 1st or July 8th, but I could be talked in to either Saturday too.

I have a friend who wants to take his Landcruiser, and a friend who wants to ride with me.

Sound off!

What mods are needed to make a good run?

I believe it's not much more than a bumpy dirt road.

I should be free July 8th. Just need to check plans with my wife.

I did it in the past with my stock 4Runner and a friend in his 2000 Grand Cherokee. The VX will have no problems, but the view from the top (on the Continental Divide) is outstanding. There are some alt routes with some technical bits if I recall too if you just want to play a bit.

Great trail, shouldnt take any mods. Stock vehicles will have no issues

Just don't go in the MUD

This is the trail the F-350 conquered right?

Well, since I'm getting robbed of my yearly 4th of July trip, I figure I might as well... I'd be a little bit keener on a Saturday, though... I could really do without the Sunday evening traffic!

Haha yes sir, stay away from the mud up there!
Just a word of advise because we didnt know any better. When you guys get up to the top and you go check out the mine, stay off the road that goes by the bottom side, its absolutely laden with old rusty nails on the ground. We thought it would make for a good photo to park next to the building, but we were VERY lucky not to have a plethera of flats. 100's of roofing nails.

I don't think mud will be an issue with our current lack of water. Sorry you'll miss this one Jack, we need to do another when you get back!

Mdwyer: I have no objections to a Saturday. Let's do a final tally and see who's in?

When: Sat July 7th
Where: Argentine Pass (outside Georgetown)
Time: meet 9 am at the northwest parking lot at I-70 and Morrison exit (time can be adjusted if we need to)

The views at the top are spectacular, bring a camera. It can be a long trail, depending on traffic, so I suggest bringing water and snacks/lunch. There's a few places where it is strictly single track, and I'm sure that's where we'll meet people going the other way, so we will get to play reverse convoy to the nearest wide spot.

PM me if you're coming and I'll send you my cell # so we can coordinate meeting up.

Michael & Tom,

I definitely can't do Saturday.

...but I can still make it Sunday if it's an option.

[mdwyer]

Awww crud. Well, I don't want to be in traffic, but I'd rather you made it out. Soooo... back to Sunday? Or next week?

[twalker920]

Either day works for me. What traffic are we concerned about? This would be the weekend after the 4th...I don't think it will be too bad, at least not compared to any other summer traffic.

Let me know what your guys' preference is and I'll show up

[Mile High VX]

Found out that the in-laws are coming the week of the 4th...you guys have fun and i'll catch you next time..

That sounds like the best reason to come along!
