UPDATE:

This is the same location as last year; the camping area is very nice and lots of room for everyone.

Directions: From HWY 24 (West or East bound) turn North on CR 31 (this is about 45 miles West of Colorado Springs and 5 miles West of Lake George). Proceed a mile or so to FR 223 and turn right (East). The campsite will be through the cattle gate on the left about 1 mile. , if available we usually use the second large campsite. GPS location: 39.0481482 -105.449253 (you can cut and paste this into Google maps)

Camping is DRY with no facilities. The closest gas and store is East of Lake George on HWY 24. So, make sure you bring all your needed gear and water.

Agenda:
Pete is going to host a poker run on Friday. Amazon gift card goes to the team with the best poker hand. More details to come

Saturday we will lead organized rides, we hope to return by 3:00 so we can play cornhole with prizes.

We will have a potluck Saturday evening around 6:00 pm. Please bring your favorite dish or appetizer to share.

After dinner, we will raffle off some great gifts, of course there will be "stealing" involved
