Conejos alternative Aug. 2-4

Dear Mountaineers,
The trip below will not go due to lack of interest. However, some of us are renting a cabin in Horca (where the gravel road to Platoro turns off from the blacktop). This can be a base of operations for day hiking in the Conejos/Platoro area, and we might squeeze one or two more into the cabin. Let me know if you are interested. Bill

TRIP BELOW WILL NOT GO - MAYBE ANOTHER TIME,
I have heard of a summer hut near Telluride that might make for a great long weekend. Details of the hut can be found here. It appears to be a great base for day hikes, and shelter should we be getting our long-sought summer rains. Their web site shows availability for the first weekend of August, so I would propose to drive up on the morning of Thursday Aug. 1 (or partway the evening before), spent 3 nights at the hut and two days exploring, and hike out on Sunday the 4th for our drive home. The hut is just 2.5 miles from the highway, and we can arrange for our gear to be hauled. With gear hauling, I would expect a cost of about $125 per person for the 3 nights if we can get 10 participants (the hut will hold 14). Let me know if you are interested ASAP at bill@priedhorsky.net.
Sincerely, Bill
