Colorado Mile High Mix-up 2014

[WRX Dave]

I'll be there Sunday. Anyone know what the water temps are?

i cant imagine its very cold. chatfield was in the low 60s this weekend and pueblo was reported to be 64 degrees. i imagine that since lake henry isnt nearly as deep, its probably been warming up a lot quicker.

Henry was very warm yesterday. I didn't have any way to measure temp, but i'd say it was low 70's-ish! Very shallow.

Who else is going to be out there Saturday?

 

[makejetskiinggreatagain]

I'll be there Saturday. Hoping to leave Westminster sometime between 10 and noon. What time are you gonna head down?

 

[RMBC Freeride]

One of my buddies from Colorado Springs will be there Saturday afternoon/evening.

If anyone has bouys to set up for a race course, this would be a great place for it. @Austin @FPF

Ok is this very common down there? I know you guys have a lot more snakes than we do up north. Just trying to judge whether or not to bring the dogs. I just saw this on the local fishing forum under a thread titled "watersports beware! Pueblo 5-6-14"

"Fished Pueblo yesterday afternoon. We launched from the North Shore marina and after getting beyond the No Wake zone I cranked up the motor. We were going for about thirty seconds when I veered to avoid what I though was a long stick. It turned out to be a 3.5 to 4 foot long rattlesnake! I turned the boat around and it tried to coil. It's head was raised about 6-8" above the water and it's rattles were slightly underwater. I couldn't believe this snake was out a good 200-300 yards from the north shore!

My partner took a photo with his cell phone and I'll append the photo tomorrow when he sends it to me. The scary part was there were a few jet skiers and wakeboarders out yesterday afternoon and they finished their day skiing in the area of the snake. I never encountered a snake that far out on the water (in Colorado)."

They are I saw one like that at Meredith a couple years ago. I was out there last weekend and didn't see anything, always watch though.

k. Im not real worried about me, I just know my curious dogs would think the thing is a stick and go after it. I might have to just leave them at home

25 years of riding various lakes down here, I've only seen 1 snake as far as I can remember...

(but as with any wilderness area, be alert)

Good thing I check in on this website occasionally... I'm game to bring my two derpy 650s down, especially if I can convince the lady friend

 

[WRX Dave]

Looks like I have to back out. This kid always picks the perfect time to get sick.

 

[Austin]

Sorry guys I also have to back of this ride.

 

[Snivilous]

Well I expected an enlarged puddle but this lake has a poop load of people on it... Lady and I are gonna try to find some food and find some of you guys. We're in the white 4Runner.

Awesome day with awesome people. Looking forward to round two.
