Any interest in a 2016 Colorado Moot?

Hey folks! Now that I'm back from my honeymoon, I am starting to plan out a lot of things for the next year, and one of the top items on my agenda is planning another ranger trek here in CO.
Last year, Bryan and I embarked on our first ever full-on ranger outing in early July, and we had an incredible time. It was both exciting and miserable, as I've stated before, but I wouldn't trade the experience for the world, and we learned A LOT in the process.
In any case, this year, I would very much like to do it again, and try to hit the same trail, this time with the advantage of a bit of foreknowledge about the terrain, climate, etc. We would probably aim for sometime in late June or early July, and this time I would ideally like to spend the night in Pagossa Springs the night before the trek, so we can start bright and early the next morning, instead of in the mid afternoon, like we did this last time (having had to drive about 5 hours down there the day-of, before even starting the hike). That would allow us to make it a lot further on the first day of the trek, and then possibly make it all the way to the lake on the second.
Anyway, I think it would be absolutely fantastic if one or two other rangers were interested in joining us for the journey, so I thought I'd put it out there and see how people felt about it. Greg, I'd really like to see if we can coax you especially out here, if possible.
So, any interest?
