Coldbutt Campout 2007

Trail leaders were once again Al Fink & Matt Shepardson, held in the Rampart Range. With this year's heavy snowfall, Mt Herman Road could only be traveled 6.5 miles into the back country- even with chained up Pinzi's. We had no problem finding a suitable campsite and entertainment was provided by sledding and the recovery of lesser vehicles that tried to negotiate the trail.
