So I'm thinking about planning something for the 4th now.

What do you guys think about the Barker Loop area? I don't think we will be able to find lodging now, so I'm thinking about camping on the trail. Running Barker OHV (which is rated a 6/7) and then finding a place to watch the fireworks on Sun night and heading home on Mon. Are any of you still up for meeting up for a run?

The trail is an offshoot from the Barker Loop and requires you do the last part of the Con. It would also be fun to run the con in up to the Observation Point (rated a 6/7). These would be challenging trails (requiring sliders, a mild lift, and some good tires), but there is plenty to explore for stockers in that area.
