Just have time for an overnight trip and one of us has to be back in Denver for work by Noon Saturday.

I have a fullsize 4x4 Diesel, son has a stock Nissan fullsize SUV.

I'm considering just saying f*ck it and go pitch a tent at BLGC since I don't want to drag the trailer out.
That place was so nice back in the 80s when I was in high school. I went up there a few times with my son about 10 years ago and it was heartbreaking...I can't imagine what it looks like now. There are some nice places north of divide by the 4x4 trails as well as out by Jefferson. It is getting harder and harder because they keep closing everything. The secluded place out by Jefferson that I took my son for 9 years closed last summer...it really sucks. And a lot of the closures are a result of people being stupid.
