3rd Saturday OR any day of week OR weekend Fun Run – Need trail and volunteer leader.

Need a volunteer Organizer/Leader. Leader can contact David Latham at the VFW in Durango (cmd@vfw4031.org) to find out the details on parade lineup, time, etc. Parade is on a Monday this year, and is usually in the afternoon.

A great opportunity to learn and brush up on skills. Pack a lunch.

Meet at Dollar General in Aztec at 9:00 am, leave at 9:30 am. Kevin H. is planning on meeting anyone who wants to caravan from Durango at the Maverik at 8:30 am.

This is an old competition area, possibly a WeRock event. It can be as easy or as hard as you want to make it. The main trail is a dirt road, then there are obstacles everywhere off the road. It is good for everyone, as you can learn what your rig can do (and you) or just go and watch. The hardest stuff is strictly for buggies. From the very back of the play area, it only takes 10-15 minutes to exit and be back on the highway. It is located on the road between Aztec and Navajo Dam and is closer to Navajo Dam.

Thank you to Lee Hagar for organizing this event.

We are looking for RSVP(s) to be a driver for this event

• Need to know how many seats you will have available for the participants.

• This will let us know how many participants can participate.  As of right now Adaptive Sports has 12 participants that would like to attend. Of course the number of participants will depend on our participation.

The plan as of right now is to drive up Lime Creek Rd to the meadow, have lunch & return. The Adaptive Sports participants will meet at the ASA building at Purgatory. 

**More Details to come**
Thanks again to Lee.

Karin Freeman, leader. Meet at 9:00 am at the Junction Restaurant parking lot (401 E Pagosa St; it's the last building on the right of Hwy 160 just before the Hwy 84 junction). Gas available next to the restaurant, or across the highway. Meet at 9:00 am for a 9:30 am departure to head to the East Fork Campground staging area to air-down. Feel free to camp at the campground or up the East Fork Road (dispersed camping) prior to the run. If you do, meet us at the staging area at 9:45am or watch for us to pass your campsite around 10:00 - 10:15am. We will be trying to trim back brush to prevent pinstriping, fixing some of our picnic tables, and looking for mudholes and other areas that may need work

Meet at PJ’s Gourmet Market at Trimble Crossing, north ofDurango (67 Trimble Ln, off Hwy 550) at 9:00 am for a 9:30 am departure. If you miss the group departure, proceed to the cleanup location on Hwy 550 just before Molas Pass. Our section of highway begins past Mile Marker (MM) 61, where the two lanes climbing uphill merge into one. The club typically parks at a forested turnoff on the left (north) side of the highway at approximately MM 62.5.

After the clean up:

Ed Rosenthal and Rick Hagar would like to invite everyone to join them on the Lime Creek road. Will travel from North to South with a stop perhaps at the campground or pond at Spud Lake trailhead.

Mariah Klingler will also be going over to Picayune/Pacer over into California Pass.

As a reminder, everyone is welcome to attend, even if you are not a member. However, please complete our waiver form and bring it with you to turn over to the trail leader.

All members are welcome to attend!

August Monthly CJG Meeting is scheduled for this Saturday, August 10 @ 1 p.m.. 🤗

At the Elks Club picnic grounds, east of Durango, toward Vallecito ( 379 County Road 240A, between Bayfield/Durango). 

Please bring a side dish of your choice to share and bring your own drinks. The Club is providing the BBQ, the plates, and utensils. I plan to be at the park around 12 noon to set up; therefore, feel free to come early.

We will plan to eat at 1 p.m. and have a short meeting thereafter so everyone can take in the beauty of the park and just relax.  Thank you to Glen Hood for securing the park for us.

Our trail leader, Mariah, reminds everyone….

July 20th - I’ll be leading a group over Imogene pass. I would like to get a *rough* head count so I have an idea of how many are planning to go.

Here are the details:

Meet at the Whistlestop in Silverton (the main gas station right off HWY 550) and depart by 10/10:30am.

Convoy over to Camp Bird Road 361 or Yankee Boy Basin Trail.

Air down and any last minute prep.

Drive over Imogene.

Once we get into Telluride, you’re welcome to leave from there, but we will likely hit Ophir (if it’s open) and come back onto the Silverton side.

Radio is GMRS. Channel 41 or 24 (Kevin, might need to let me know on that one because my channels are different. I can’t remember the lower one.) I’ve got an extra handheld if needed.

The trail is not excessively difficult. A small lift and larger tires will likely do fine. I did Imogene in my XJ with a 3.5” lift kit and 30” tires. I have been watching trail reports and hoping no significant boulder or mud slides occur.

This will take all day to run! Plan accordingly.

Let me know if you are planning on making it or have questions! The picture is the trail 2 years ago at the top dropping over into Telluride.

If you are not a member of the Creeper Jeeper Gang and want to tag along to see what our club is all about, you will need to bring this signed waiver with you.

If you all want to keep up to date on the trip, I created an event for it: Facebook Event Page

All members welcome!

Gary and I were really glad to hear that both Ophir Pass and Porphyry Gulch/ Bullion King Lake are now open and accessible. These are some of our favorite places to go for beautiful scenery as well as fun fishing. We are planning to make the trip this Saturday, July 13, therefore we wanted to put out the word if anyone might be interested in joining us.

Here are the details:

• Meet at the beginning of the town of Ophir at the small parking area just off of Hwy. 145 at 8:15. Leave Ophir at 8:30 to go over Ophir Pass. Please let us know if you will be meeting us here at the first of the trail run so that we know to wait for you.

• Meet at 9:30 on the east side or the Silverton side of Ophir Pass at Hwy. 550 (approximately 4.2 miles north on Hwy. 550, turning left (west) on County Rd. 8 (signed as Ophir Pass Road and Forest Rd. #679).

• Leave from the east side of Ophir Pass by 10:00 to head towards the Porphyry Gulch Road (Forest Service Rd, 822 off of Hwy. 550). Again please let us know if you plan to meet us on the Silverton side of Ophir Pass so we can wait for everyone. However we do hope to keep to a bit of a schedule so that we can beat the afternoon clouds and possible rain storms that tend to build up at this time of the year.

• We should get to Bullion King Lake by about 11:00. Gary and I plan to fish for a few hours. Anyone is welcome to join us or others who might want to hike up to the other lake on above. We’ll have lunch and head back down the trail when everyone is ready.

Please respond if planning to join us or if you have any questions.

Thanks, Gary and Lori Harris
