From 5280 FJ:
Well, we had a good time. Met in Sedalia, then headed down 67, through Deckers
and then turning at Westcreek. (don't blink)
Metberry gulch is one of three trails that was closed in 2002 after the Hayman
fire (remote area, so nothing like what's hit SoCal). The fire was started by a
Federal Forestry Officer, and 5 firefighters lost their lives battling it. This
area is pretty much due west of the Air Force Academy. This trail was just
reopened this summer. I do not know the offroad groups name that helped rebuild
it so it could open, but "thanks". Both the Traildamage.com and
Charles Wells instructions for getting here could be better!!! The trail dead
ends at a camp/fishing spot on the Platte
River.
Met MountainMan, his bro and kids, and a friend of his with a Jeep Unlimited
and two more kids!! Turns out it was hunting season, and we were the only ones
that didn't have orange hats & vests on.
It was a great time. At the end of the trail, we setup for a little rest,
cooked some hotdogs, and played in the river. Nice and relaxed day. Next time
we want more of you there!!
Thanks to MountainMan for setting this up, and his friend and the young ones
for making it a great day.
