Was wondering if you were planning a post-drive.

Is Left Hand dirt or partially dirt?

An alternative would be up to Lyon's and take 7 to Peak to Peak.

How about a late lunch at WonderVu?

Just say'n.

All of the above sounds good. I'm not sure about the level of dirt but we'll see if Robert chimes in, he planned the route.

Lyons and Peak to Peak will be good, because I have not been to the top of Lefthand Canyon to know.

Maybe I will take the old ford up Lefthand early next week and see about the level of dirt.

Lefthand

Update,

I cheched out Lefthand and it's blacktop goes to the top. I came down from Ward some time ago because I remembered the little town with a steep main street.

Looking forward to the tour and meeting.

I take it the ride might be modified a bit?

FYI, I will not join you for the ride as my daughter is in town, family weekend, but I can sneak in the Shelby tour.

I think Lefthand Canyon is still closed and the Peak to Peak HWY is on the west side of the evacuation area so I'm not sure about going around.

Joe,

Is the meeting at 10:00 or 11:00? This forum says 10:00, the newsletter says 11:00.

I think we are all meeting at the museum then a ride to fallow if anyone is up for it.

The museum is a little hard to find. There is a brown "MUSEUM" sign on both north bound and south bound 63rd but once you go east on Spine Road you have to know to look for Chaparral Court as there are no signs in either direction on Spine Road. Just a heads up.

Why did the newsletter say 11AM? Somebody should fire the staff!
It is nice to know that somebody reads it though.
Sorry about the confusion.
Nice pictures Teena.
