Calico Turkey Run

[Pikeman]

I might be able to make this run. Will let you know in a couple days.

Couple of things,

Those of you that are going or might be going, please sign up. Go to the link in the first thread and let us know if you are a yes, maybe, or a no. Then update your status as time gets closer. This will go along way to help determine the size of the campsite that will be needed.

For those coming for the day, I would think you'll want to be in camp by 08:30 hrs.

Also, as mentioned this will be a mild to wild weekend. To help in your planning we are planning on running Doran, Odessa, and Gatekeeper on Friday and doing the easy historical stuff on Saturday.

Hope to see you there.

I could lead a Philips Loop run on Friday for those rigs that are not quite built for Doran, Odessa & Gatekeeper if anyone is interested. I do however want to witness the carnage on gate keeper

Roger,

I think we can get everyone through Doran and Odessa if they want to join us. They could take the bypass for Gatekeeper. I'm hoping we will be running Philips Loop on Saturday. Got to see the Arch.

The Arch is definitely on the list for Saturday. The toughest thing planned for Saturday is the west side of Phillips Loop. I'm planning to lead us to: Kramer Arch, Grotto Canyon, Sweetwater Springs, Bismarck Mine, Sue Falls Overlook (the easy way), and the Silver Bow Mine (if it is still open to the public).

I am still trying to see how I can work in Barber's Mill, Tin Can Alley, and some hunting for petrified palm root. We'll see.....

Sorry Art. It's cleared. Was a busy weekend.

Mike, I have a petrified palm leaf! It's the coolest thing ever!

I will be camping with the family near Slash X. Hopefully I can sneak away for a few hours and visit everyone in Calico.

Looks pretty good for the weekend. I know it will change as the weekend gets closer but so far I like it. The little bit of rain on Thursday should help keep the dust down.

During the IDTT last spring we ran Phillips Loop, Tin Can alley, WallStreet, Bismark Mine and one other mine. Stopping to go into and walk through both mines. I think there was another trail or two we covered but not sure. Another factor is there were only 3 vehicles so no delays on the trail(not that there are any real obstacles) Just putting that out there to let you know that doing all those trails is possible. FYI Christian was the trail leader for the run we did and can probably fill you in more detail.
