Colorado B.S. Thread

Go hike the trail along the Platte. You can access it many places. 120th ave. right after it passes over Riverdale Rd. while going East or below on Riverdale Rd. Easy hike, the river is flowing well, and not very far at all. You might even find an arrowhead.

 

My shock bolt is seized in the bushing. Fml

 

We have a sweet spot down here in motor city at a car wash. It's at a perfect high point. We can see north to the Air Force Academy, east all the way out to Falcon, and south to Fountain. Lots of fireworks for sure.

 

Come up by me I'll hike Devils backbone or horse tooth with you guys one of these days.

Go on...

 

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!

Anyone get stuck in that INSANE traffic headed eastbound on 285 yesterday? The fiancee and I left Crested Butte around 10:45am and all was great till just west of Fairplay. Traffic was backed up/stopped all through town and at every stop light along the route. 6+ hour drive from Mt. Crested Butte to Lakewood. Absolutely horrible.

 

Yesterday, Memorial Day and Labor Day are probably the worst days to be driving back from the mountains.

 

Saw this wreck live last night. I thought for sure he had to be dead

sucks after all that...resting on his lid...get's nailed one last time

 

Yeap. Like Madjik_Man said it was a really bad day to come home from the mountains. But I have run into that same type of thing on 285 on a Sunday that was not a major holiday. It was just the second weekend of July. We now have way too many people in this state and they all want to enjoy the weekends in the mountains.

 

It's official. Ordered the front LT kit from TC. Time to work on shocks.

Edit: Big thanks to Toytec ( Doug, Miles and Dylan) for helping me out.

 

Saturday we went to the cherry creek art festival to kill some time. Turn out Toyota was doing test drives on a few vehicles and they were paying 10 bucks to do it as well as had a table full of swag. I got a pair of yota sunglasses and a 4 runner flint fire starter. We made 20 bucks and she got to test drive the rav4 she is looking into... i know I've tried to send her to the fj but she likes the smaller forester, crv, and rav4. Point is if you see toyota doing a driving event you could get paid took maybe 15 minutes

 

FTFY

 

I hiked Quandry Sunday and left the parking lot about 1pm, headed over Hoosier and ate lunch in Fairplay at the bbq joint. While I was leisurely eating I saw an ambulance and fire truck go north on 285. Traffic was creeping through Fairplay when I rolled out around 2:30 or something. After looking at the traffic map I took 9 to 24 to 67 and popped out near Sedalia. I was home by 5:30 or so? Not bad considering and I was moving the whole time save for 5 minutes at the traffic light for 67 in Woodland Park.

 

I noticed that light in Woodland Park on Saturday night too making that left turn onto 67. FOREVER!

 

So a friend if mine who is big into travel was able to go to Cuba last month. He brought me back a couple of goodies.

 

Yup. ..traffic as far as you could see on 285 Sunday. .I successfully avoided all weekend traffic!

 

And every weekend during ski season haha
