Comment by Dave Adair on May 26, 2010 at 1:47pm: The incline parking was a mess this morning. Hydro road has been repaved, but it looks like they are just starting on the Barr Trailhead lot. It is still closed. About half the parking on the wall across from the depot is blocked off for the paving crew. The builders of the town homes have a crane parked in the spaces in front of the town homes. At 6 am, I parked well below Iron Springs, and that was only because someone just left.

Comment by Dave Adair on May 26, 2010 at 8:58am: Great job on the incline this morning Carrie! Pushed me big time. Thanks.

Comment by Carrie Renaud on May 25, 2010 at 8:26pm: Sounds good. I will see you there!

Comment by Dave Adair on May 25, 2010 at 7:25pm: Ya, I meant in front of the cog depot. But the first tie at 6:15 works.

Comment by Carrie Renaud on May 25, 2010 at 7:04pm: Barr trail parking lot? I usually start from the first tie, but can aim to be there at 6:15.

Comment by Dave Adair on May 25, 2010 at 2:56pm: I'm going to be at the parking lot at 6:15 if you want some company.

Comment by Carrie Renaud on May 25, 2010 at 11:30am: I'm heading up the incline tomorrow (5-26) morning if anyone wants to join me. I will probably start heading up Ruxton around 6:30. Start time can be adjusted if necessary, I just don't like going to late. I will have my dog with me!
