Antero Bible"(comparing this find to something as good as the Bible:)) well heck ya..this is an awesome book..extremely in-depth..well written..all the info you could ever need..it's older written in the 80's but still an excellent read...what is the collecting status on Antero and White mtns. now? Are there still large lode claims filed on those molybdenum areas? any other info you can provide?

Perhaps I should add a day then. I have three or four days that arenīt planned for yet.
I have ordered a Ford Escape (or similar), but Iīm not sure I should force a rental car to do that climb. Iīm guessing the Baldwin creek trail is fairly easy. The Baldwin gulch trail seems hard from the start, having to cross water (three or four times?). Except for that, and the trail beeing quite tight on some places, the road itself doesnīt seem that bad. But, I guess that changes from day to day. I made the mistake of taking the Weston pass with a Dodge Caliber four years ago (from Alma to Leadville). I thought I could save time, but going down from the pass and westwards was the worst road Iīve ever taken. The Baldwin gulch trail looks a lot better, but then thereīs the steep sides close to the road. I have to think about this, but I sure would hate to come back and say No, maybe the next time. |
