I hate flooding this forum with posts so I promise this will be the last for a while. Another member metioned I should post my date in case there was some others interested in meeting up at the same time/place. I can guarantee you a belly full of laughs one way or another. I've got stories that will make your sides sore in the morning.

We're planning embarking 0500 or so Thursday the 31st of May. We'll be hitting CLear Creek around 0800 to 0900. That's the timeframe as of right now. We're back packing and hiking somewhere...not sure where yet for sure, still awaiting some maps. We'd love to meet up with some other members. I realize this will be a little early in the season but we figured there wouldn't be as many people out there at that time. I hate crowds. Where I live in Bartley, NE I can pee off my porch and not get arrested. That's about as large a town I can handle.

Hey man, flood away! We can handle as many posts as you can crank out.

Be careful regarding claims along Clear Creek if you aren't planning on staying within the Jeffco Open Space. Mostly active claims upstream from there if I'm not mistaken (I don't know the creek well).
Most definitely do your homework, we can help if needed. Don't wanna see ya's git in trouble, they're kinda touchy up that way (and rightfully so).

Im always up for heading out, and being a Marine give you a leg up in the stories department. Found a good spot while driving to a job the other day, grabbed a couple buckets and heres the findings. I was excited to see anything.

keep us posted on your plans and good luck

Jimbo, give a holler, I've been hitting Clear Creak abit this season so far, and am familure with the Clear Creek area (from Adams Co. up into the N. Clear Creak). Was out on the Creek today and found some more good color. Here is my number 303-877-zero67two. As every ones mentioned Vic's is a great place to dig some too.

Thanks for the invite guys! Meeting up with you would be a pleasure. You could show us flatlanders a thing or two about the art. I'm writing down what gear I think we'll need as we speak.
