Illinois Gulch, June 2008 |

We had a total of 8 FJ's come out for our undetermined Rampart Range run on Sunday June 1st. What a great way to start off the month! It's great to see different people out for every run, in fact only 2 of us were on the Metberry Run last month. Our little group is really starting to grow!
After everyone arrived @ the Sedalia Grill, it was off to the mountains. Gavin & Jock lead the way down 67 to Rampart Range Rd where we aired down. We could tell from the very beginning that this area would be busy all day, there were ATV's, bikes, Jeeps, and even other FJ's all over.
Everyone got aired down & we headed south. It was determined that we'd run down Fern Gulch real quick, then take the shortcut over to Missouri & Illinois Gulches, where there's a fun 'Moab Like' playground (appropriately named “Moab Hill”). Once we arrived at the playground, Gavin was first up the hill. It took a couple of tries & a little stacking, but he made it up without issues. Nearly everyone took their turn running up the obstacle, only myself (because that's how I roll), and Rob (because he's running stock tires) did not attempt the obstacle.
After getting (almost) everyone up the rocks, we chatted for a few & headed down the mountain. The last leg of Illinois Gulch went without incident, but there was enough terrain to make it a little fun.
It was another great day out with the Colorado FJ's – we hope to see you out there next time!
