It's massive. It would be a nice "weekend shoot" place. They have camp grounds, cabins, and RV parking.

Sunday Monday or Tuesday and I'm in. I have a huge trunk and enough room for three others in my car. 100th and Wadsworth is the origin.
My schedule changes weekly, but if we can pick a date soon, i'll check it. If I can go, I'll volunteer to drive somebody from the Springs. I could take up to 4 others, but I have an older extended cab Silverado... those back seats were made for kids!
Thanks DSB and Ronin for the directions. That's a bit of a drive from Colorado Springs, but if it means I get to shoot with some quality guys, then it's worth it.
