I just wanted to provide some βbetaβ from this bike route I did last year, witch is in my opinion the best way to experience antero
I climbed the standard jeep route and decended the little browns creek trail around the colorado trail back to the lower trailhead on my bike and this is one of my favorite 14er days.
- the climb up the standard jeep road is brutal until you make it up to the switchbacks
- between the lower trailhead and the creek it is rideable but very steep
- it gets unrideable between the creek and the switchbacks due to the road becoming a field of babyheads
- once you get to the switchbacks they are a great climbing challenge for any rider
- after the short flat section near the top of the switchbacks the final stretch of road to 13,700 is very steep but doable
- donβt even try to get your bike past the upper parking area, there is nothing rideable there
- if you are using clips pack some hiking shoes for the last section, but flat bike shoes should be just fine
- little browns creek might be one of the best decent routes in the state but it isnβt as rip-able as some might like
- it can be kinda hard to actually find the trail so a gps/map app is useful
- there are very few people on this trail, but you still need to be heads up for hikers
- the upper section above treeline is kinda slow because it is alot of boulder dodging
- once below treeline it becomes a really fun flowy decent
- I wouldnβt recommend this to any beginners, but it is definitely a trail you can take slow
- if you do the creek route I recommend shuttling from the parking area on road 272 unless you want to ride the 10 miles back to the trailhead
- if you do the shuttle there is a small climb right near the end of the decent that can destroy your will to live
- the colorado trail on the way back is more crowded, but offers a bit more descending
- the ride back is still several miles but they pass quickly and the road isnt too bad
Overall this route makes a boring hike like Antero, that is mostly spent inhaling jeep fumes up and down, a very fun day on the bike that vastly improves the experience of this mountain. I would recommend this route to anyone who has some biking experience and isnβt afraid to do a little hike a bike on the climb.
I am looking into this company because of the huge dividends, 14%. I know I need to be careful with that high of dividends because sometimes businesses are not doing so good financially so they pay more dividends. How can I find the health of this business? I want to know what the risk is
Hi all, Antero's newest film "The Vanishing Field" will be playing this Friday (the 26th) at the Clinton Street Theater. So far we only have 4 RSVPs out of a possible 11. It will be a total of $150 to reserve the theater, so a few more filmgoers will help drive down the cost per person. If you're interested let me know :)
So I am pretty new to picking out div stocks. Been big in MF until now. By looking at the qtrly payout on this one seems like a no brainer for a small long term chunk of cash. No Iβm not pumping, just pass g on what I thought was a good one.
Iβm just curious what all your thoughts on AM are ... a little background... i am very new to trading. After doing some research dividend stocks seemed interesting to me. The idea of putting the payments back into the stock, thus increasing the payments ... and so on seems like a decent idea on paper, but you never know if that dividend will change ....
Long story short, Iβm just in a little to try to learn and at least have something on the line so Iβm not simply watching ... I bought a little into AM thinking Iβll see how it goes and they had a pretty high yield for a somewhat cheap stock .... well theyβve been exceeding their expected gains each quarter but have decided to cut the dividend to pay for some pretty big infrastructure projects.
I guess the question is ... they seem to be a very stable company that consistently is hitting their goals ...but I got in bc of the high yield on the dividend payments. Should I back out and jump to another similar company like SHLX or ET, or stick with it? It was always a long game strategy to begin with, but the dividend cut has me wondering ...
