Time for an update. The weather looks very promising for an October run!

Need to cleanup the following....
MILD RUN or Ride (IN?)
@RMETeeJay
@TRevs

Did you two decide if you're going to do a mild trail? If not, are you still planning on coming?

Just reached out to TRevs to see what their plans are.

What about on the trail? Parking lots full of big RVs are not fun.

I have to meet my dad in BV the next day so kinda debating just camping Saturday night

Yeah that spot is like a party camping spot it seems like. Can you camp on the trail though? I have camped by those tunnels east of BV before, I think that's 304

There's no spots on the trail, but you could probably just make one. I've camped north of 285 before in the four mile area, which isn't bad if you get far enough back.

 

[BVJeep]

Yes you can camp on the trail. There is a spot just before you get to the Gatekeeper. The whole Fourmile area is also open for camping.

Cool I might do that!!

Man looks like I'm missing out on a good run.

The Grand Tetons have been awesome. Bonus with the govt shutdown. Very few park rangers and not.many tourists

And Chevelle put on an awesome Concert in Idaho Falls.

So Great trip all around

The forecast has gotten a little bit better... Less chance of rain, however it looks like there will be a little bit of wind and the temp will be slightly cooler in the upper 50's. Plan accordingly and we'll see you in the morning.

@RMETeeJay are you still coming up since TRevs dropped out?

Anyone else that was a yes that is now a no, please let us know.

 

[tworley]

Have fun all! Wish I could make it

 

[rasband]

Have a great time guys!

 

[NDSpeed]

Have a good trip,
