Re: Sept. 9th Run - Colorado

hey guys, sorry, won't make it this time, have some prior engagements on Sunday. I'm definitely up for something next time though. I might try to get up with some buddies on Saturday but Sunday is definitely taken up.

Re: Sept. 9th Run - Colorado

I'm definitely interested. It'd be great to get to meet some fellow FJers too! The trail is do-able in a stock rig right? i'd like to avoid any damages.

It's definitely doable in a stock rig. You'll have a couple spots where you'll need to pick your line well but you'll be ok. It was one of the first trails I ran before I upgraded my rig and I did just fine. Really great trail with some challenging parts for stock rigs and absolutely incredible scenery.

Re: Sept. 9th Run - Colorado

I wish we could go. Been dying to get out there..... My daughter has had a soccer scrimmage scheduled for 10am. She would not be happy if we went without her!! Hopefully there will be another run soon that we can attend. Have fun!!
Thanks-

Re: Sept. 9th Run - Colorado

It was a great Sunday ride, could have not asked for a more perfect Colorado day. Here are some pics from my copilot:

Full gallery:
http://gallery.mac.com/mike_berg#100079

Airing down. Lots of others in Jeeps, Quads, and bikes getting ready too. We managed to leave before the rest of the traffic.

Seems to be a hint of fall...

Old mine some people go up to. I am scared to death of these things and stay far away!

Photog moment at the mine.

A forested section of the trail. Seems either big vehicles or bad drivers smack their side view mirrors on a lot of trees here.

Looking at the base of a steep rocky section. I had to use the locker to get up this as ATRAC was arguing about the traction I wanted.

Ranger92 making it to the top.

Followed by TonysBlueFJ.

TonysBlueFJ

Another steep section. Seat belts getting tighter and tighter, could not lean forward at all...

Rest break...

Rocky road most of the rest of the way now.

At the lake. Us three FJs plus some Jeeps and an older LandRover.

The lake with a mini glacier above.

We had apparently just missed the bear that had been fishing in the lake. I bet he was still around watching us.



Started to get a little rain mixed with snow on the way down.





These guys seemed to be wanting to break their vehicles or flip over or get hurt... It was irritating being stuck behind them, they kept jumping out to see if we would take the same ridiculous line as them, we disappointed them.
