TAKE NOTE

anuary is National Blood Donor Month, declared by President Richard Nixon in 1970, to pay tribute to voluntary blood donors and increase donation by others. Blood donations typically drop off during and immediately after the winter holidays, which makes Blood Donor Month a critical time for the American Red Cross. Due to increased seasonal illnesses and inclement weather conditions, donations of blood and platelets decline and demand increases. The American Red Cross and Blood Banks of America encourage everyone who can donate to continue their donations. Those who have never donated, to make an appointment. Blood donation is safer than ever before and saves lives. Millions of people including cancer patients, organ recipients, and victims of accidents; rely on blood donations. The Red Cross needs to collect more than 13,000 donations every day to keep the blood supply ready and available to meet the needs of about 2,600 hospitals, clinics and cancer centers across the country. About 36,000 units of red blood cells and 7,000 units of platelets are needed every single day in the U.S. Although an estimated 38 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood at any given time, less than 10 percent actually do. The Red Cross, which provides about 40 percent of blood in the U.S., hopes to change that. The organization is seeking new donors in the new year to step up to help meet the needs of patients battling cancer and other conditions or disorders, individuals undergoing surgery and victims of accidents or violent acts. Donating blood is a simple, safe process. All you have to do is register, take a mini medical history test, donate, and then accept free refreshments. A single donation from a single patient can help more than one person. Give blood. Don’t wait for a disaster. Someone needs blood now. A single car accident victim may need up to 100 pints of blood to survive. Eligible blood and platelet donors are urged to schedule a donation today by using the Red Cross Blood Donor app, visiting redcrossblood. org or calling 1-800-REDCROSS. Use #NationalBloodDonorMonth and #GiveBlood to share on social media.

GOING FULL THROTTLE Ice-racing club holds its winter events on Georgetown Lake GEORGETOWN

he Our Gang 4 Wheelers have been holding races on ice, and having a ton of fun doing it, for 43 years. Except for its first three years, the club’s events have occurred on Georgetown Lake. Its members, many of whom have had relatives involved for decades, consist of volunteers who join to help put on the ice races, organize events and attend meetings. Races are open to anyone and membership is not required to take part in races during the six-weekend season. If you have a vehicle with 4WD or AWD and a valid driver’s license, just follow the rules, pay the $25 entry fee and it’s off to the races. Even better, spectators can show up any time to observe the action for free. A one-time, $10 tech inspection for racers is also required. Enjoy race-day and practice action during this 44th season beginning with a “Fun Day for Practice,” Jan. 10. A variety of races are scheduled for Jan. 11-12, Feb. 1-2, Feb. 8-9, Feb. 22-23 and Feb. 29-March 1. A second “Fun Day for Practice,” is scheduled for Feb. 28. Registration for race days is only open on the morning of the event from 7:30 -9 a.m. The races have three divisions: Competition, Professional Street and Street. Each division holds a race for a tire class bare rubber and studded tires. The Competition Division has a third

tire class known as “cheaters.” There are separate races for men and women and a wide range of cars, from normal all-wheeldrive street vehicles to extremely modified Jeeps with studs and “cheaters,” can participate. In all, 13 races are held each week. All races are in a head-to-head format which can be fun to watch. The studded and cheater tire classes are the fastest and, therefore, most popular races to watch. Races begin at 9:30 a.m. with free parking in the lots next to the lake. Races progress from one class to another as they are completed; there are no set start times. View the planned order of classes for a particular day on the group’s website. Visit ourgangiceracing.com for more information and complete details for both racers and spectators.

GREEN HOLIDAY

DID YOU KNOW?

The Arapaho National Forest is seeking comments on a proposal to reroute the historic Warren Gulch Trail in the Clear Creek Ranger District near Idaho Springs. By reconstructing the trail on a new alignment away from private property, recreation use will be restored while minimizing the potential for conflicts with landowners. The Warren Gulch Trail is a 4.3-mile National Forest System trail built before 1938 near Echo Mountain on Hwy. 103. When constructed, it crossed 18 mining claims, which are now residential properties. Increasing use of the trail, particularly for downhill mountain biking, resulted in conflicts with private landowners. Under the proposed action, the lower 1.7 miles of the trail will be replaced with a new 1.4 mile route which avoids all private property. The trail will be designed and built to Forest Service mountain bike standards and will be open to all non-motorized uses, including hiking. Plans call for it to open in fall 2020. During the scoping period, interested parties may make any concerns about the proposal and raise substantive issues for environmental analysis. To comment, e-mail ralph.bradt@usda.gov with the subject line “Warren Gulch Trail Reroute.” Alternatively, comments may be sent to: Scott Haas, District Ranger, USDA Forest Service, Clear Creek Ranger District, P.O. Box 3307, Idaho Springs, CO 80452, or faxed to 303-567-3021. Comments should be received by Jan. 8. 4

The increased efficiency also greatly reduces lift lines at the bottom of Parsenn Bowl and facilitates access through the Lunch Rock area.

Going Nordic! Nordic centers, local backcountry offer range of experiences for all abilities

CLEAR CREEK COUNTY REGION

n Colorado, a pair of cross-country or telemark skis can transport just about anyone from their everyday life into a peaceful forest environment of snow-laden trees, white meadows and trails along frozen creeks. A hidden world of winter beauty and sensational settings, without the crowds, can be unveiled throughout Clear Creek County, and neighboring Grand and Summit counties, by visiting the region’s Nordic centers and easilyaccessible backcountry trails. There are also ranches, clubs and nonprofit organizations that maintain networks of cross-country trails throughout the area. For residents and visitors to the region there are no shortage of places to get out and put a pair of free-heeled skis, and their bodies, to work. Winter is a spectacular time to visit the area’s forests, wilderness areas, state park and Rocky Mountain National Park. It’s also the best time to visit a Nordic center for great trails and plenty of additional activities and amenities close at hand. Many even allow dogs. Backcountry options abound throughout the region. The Arapahoe and Roosevelt National Forests and the Indian Peaks, James Peak and Mount Evans wilderness areas—which run from Rocky Mountain National Park south to Clear Creek County and from western Boulder County to Grand County—provide a lifetime of backcountry skiing options. Huts, yurts and cabins located in the area are also accessible to skiers. Clear Creek County offers several outstanding backcountry options including Old Squaw Pass Road, South Chicago Creek Trail and Echo Lake along with easier options including Bakerville-Loveland Trail, Mount Evans Scenic Byway and Argentine Railroad Grade Trail. Even more prime, backcountry skiing exists in the thousands of acres of national forest throughout the region. Recreation maps and other resources can be found at clearcreekcounty.org. Nordic centers are also plentiful throughout Grand and Summit counties and other nearby locations. Avoid backcountry hazards, get on the snow quickly, try additional snow sports and have their top amenities close at hand at these world-class facilities.

CLEAR CREEK

Rush MAGAZINE • JANUARY 2020

When planning a backcountry ski trip, be sure conditions are appropriate for skiing and don’t forget to consider other users and your safety. Check conditions and consult the Colorado Avalanche Information Center at avalanche.state. co.us before heading out as conditions can change hourly. Skiers must also be prepared for quick changes in weather and exhaustion. Skills and gear to handle the risks are essential. Always dress in layers with insulating, waterproof clothing, protect your eyes and skin with sunglasses and sunscreen and carry water.
