I injured my arm, and may not make this trip. I'll see how it is feeling tomorrow. I've also got a lot of stuff to do around the homestead.
I'll post something more definite tomorrow, but I may have to skip this trip.

Sounds like they are forecasting snow in the mountains Friday night. Might want to pack your winter gear just in case.

Lyn and I will be leaving for Buena Vista early tomorrow morning. As it stands now we will meet about 10:30 A.M. on Saturday at the Abe Lee fishing access for a dive or two. Waterskier1, Bikefox, and Ron Frank have my cell phone number. If you are going to be in the area Friday night or Saturday night and want to get togather for dinner, drinks or camp fire get my number and call. The guys who have the number feel free to give to our other buddies.
I'll be driving a Maroon Chevy Tahoe with purple license plates.
We look forward to seeing everyone.

I will be leaving Colo Spgs sometime after 7:00 PM tomorrow night. The crew from Diver's Reef and FROGs will be camping just south of the spillways, in the Nat'l Forest, but not in a developed campground. We plan to meet up with Frank at 10:30 Sat morning. The instructors have some Rescue Diver students, and I think some Open Water students, so they will likely be busy most of the day.
As it stands now, we'll return to our campsite Sat night and then pack up Sunday morning and stop at Twin Lakes for a dive or two on the way home.
I have Frank's cell phone number. If there is anyone who is going and would also like it, please send me a PM. It looks like I'll be driving my Silver GTI with a roof carrier on it and Ham Radio Plates. If they need more space, I'll have a White Crew Cab SuperDuty pickup with blue military plates.

I'm not going to be doing this. The weather is going to be poor, and my elbow is still not 100%. The weather does not look good. I'm near 9000ft, and this morning it's in the low 40's F. Right now it is raining, a bit windy, chilly, and there is a cloud bank sitting just above us on the Mountain.
Have fun guys, and I'm sure I'll hear a report! Boy, Aug is suppose to be Hot, but it's more like winter here in OR! :11:

I'll be there. Hopefully with the poor weather, the drive back down on I-70 won't be 4 hrs. I was in Leadville two weeks ago and the drive from the tunnel down to Denver was 3 hrs.
