Rockies Ruck - Final Posting? :)
Less than month to go for this low key get together in Leadville, CO.
The idea is to have a hiker get together such as ones done on the East and West coasts...without the airfare for those in the Rockies. :D Of course, people from all over are welcome, too.
Hope to keep the ball rolling and make this a yearly event!
Anyway, there are about 25 people going so far.

There is a "schedule" now as well!
The usual caveat: Nothing is set in stone. The list is just some ideas. Being hikers, we can be flexible. Feel free to bring any slide shows/ideas/whatever.
We will have access to a large screen TV w/ DVD and VCR. Karl Luce is bringing a digitial projector and laptop so we can show computer based slide shows. Naturally, you don't have to do everything, as the hostel is big enough if you've had enough of the slide shows. :D
The "schedule":
FRIDAY:
Afternoon - meet and greet
Early Evening: dinner
Evening: CDT slideshow by Mike "D-Low" DiLoreznzo
SAT:
Morning: Breakfast
Day: Going over Packs/Stove Making/ Slide show watching/ Shooting the breeze (pick one..whatever you want to do. :)
Lunch: I like the idea of a potluck lunch. Bring enough food for yourself and two other people. As mentioned, there is a good sized Safeway in town, so don't feel you have to cook anything
Afternoon: Going over Packs/Stove Making/ Slide show watching/ Shooting the breeze (pick one..whatever you want to do. :)
Dinner: We eat!
Evening: "Southbounders". An AT movie..not a documentary!
"Resouled" A PCT doc
SUN:
Breakfast
Group outdoor activity (for those who want to)
Again, don't feel you have to do everything on this list. The whole weekend is just an excuse to get together and talk trail. :)
