Treypal's Colorado Raptor Run

[treypal]

Hey guys, here is the plan for the 2013 Colorado Raptor Run. The dates are July 13-16. The trip will start in Silverton and end in Telluride. The trail portion of the trip doesn't start until 7-14 at 8 AM. Cost per truck is $50 which includes an event T Shirt, and possible other swag for two people. Additional people are $25 each. It also includes a trail lunch on Tuesday.

We will be capping this event at 15 Raptors split into two groups due to the limited space on trails.

Three words.... Rent-a-jeep... The only pass those rental companies get bent out of shape if you take the jeep down is black bear.

Yeah few times a year I'll usually make it down for some reason; fly out of alb, watch the lobos play, go to the drag strip, visit friends, etc.
