Trail Ride Nov 22nd - Turret area

Jim Hall — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 16:49:21 +0000

I have rescheduled the Nov 15 trail ride to Nov 22nd. Hopefully our weather will hold up. The Turret area trails, including Bassam Park, are generally mild trails and not quite as well used as other trails in the area like Chinaman Gulch. The trails are in what is known as the Fourmile Travel Management Area which extends from north of Buena Vista, down towards Salida. The trails between Johnson Village and Salida pass quite a few old mines who’s products consisted of feldspar, quartz, mica, iron, beryl, among other things. A lot of the roads have seasonal gates that close from Dec 1st to Apr 15th, although some are open all winter, snow level permitting.
This trip will consist of driving a combination of the trails from Johnson Village to Salida. Any vehicle is capable of the trails, barring any severe erosion which I doubt. Unless it was deep, snow probably wouldn’t be a big factor.

Club Event: Annual BBQ

Solihull Soceity — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 03:44:08 +0000

Annual BBQ
Saturday August 16th 2008

The Meadowlark Cove picnic site at Bear Creek Lake Park on Sat., August 16th has been reserved. The official picnic time will be 1-4PM, that is when the alcohol permit is good for. I would encourage people to come anytime during the day, we have the shelter all day and it’s very close to the swim beach. Beer, up to 6.0, is allowed at all times, but for hard alcohol it can only be during the permit time. The club will provide the food and non-alcoholic beverages.

Event reminder: Aug 2nd Iron Chest Mine

Jim Hall — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 13:41:27 +0000

This is a difficult trail out of Nathrop, just past the Grizzly Lake trail. While not a long trail, the long boulder field encountered at the beginning will slow your progress considerably. There is another small rocky section further up, then you reach the old Iron Chest Mine. Be careful around the old buildings and mine shafts.

Check out Iron Chest in the forum for more details.
