Would need a side pic of that trailer, I think I could do it.

 

Thought I'd say hello after a while. Sold my Taco, moved to Germany...ikr.

Heading back for the summer though, 3 weeks in August. Coming in here is not a good idea. It brings back memories of great things and times. FML.

 

Give me your tears gypsy

 

strong smell of burning Breckinridge out there this morning.

 

Hopefully they take care of that quickly today. Don't need another Waldo Canyon or worse.

 

I was wondering why it was smokey this morning.

 

Guessing your getting more from the fire just north of me, the one west of Kremmling, or the one in the Snowys. Super smokey up here all week.

 

could be, but it was clear until late last night, and definitely smokey this morning.

 

Just read an update that it's still 0% contained... Pre-evacs and evacs still active for sure.

 

They made good progress on it last night. If anyone wants to keep an eye on it, here's a link: https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/5321/

 

I've been coughing all morning, damn smoke.

 

Was one of you guys up in Salida this weekend with a White 2nd Gen, FlipPac and a Yeti MTB on the back?

 

@Star-Lord, I was in your neck of the woods yesterday. I'm taking my lady and her kids to Dinosaur NM and we made our eastward move through Poudre Canyon. It was my first time, and I have to say, that is an incredible Canyon and a beautiful river. I need to get up that way with the truck and have you show me around some. Maybe drop some recovery knowledge on me as well.

Cameron Pass was amazing too. Saw two bull and one cow moose grazing right at the picnic area. The kids were blown away! The ridgelines and the Diamond Peaks were jaw-dropping gorgeous as well.

 

there is a reason everybody likes taking it up the Poudre.
Glad you guys got to see the mooses.

As soon as Green Ridge opens up, I'll post up a trail run.

 

Be nice if this was true! Diesel Hilux in the American market would be very tempting:

So glad I am not there anymore! I feel bad for those that have to deal with this kind of crap.

 

Looks like the FS is finally going to do something about Conundrum Hot Springs

In response to widespread ecological damage caused by too many campers, the United States Forest Service (USFS) has rolled out its draft Overnight Visitor Use Management Plan for the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness (MBSW).

The plan includes a proposal to require permits for camping at Conundrum Hot Springs and Conundrum Creek, a destination many people embark on from the West Maroon trailhead north of Gothic. The new permitting and online reservation system the USFS hopes to implement may also impose a $10 per person, per night fee. The plan is expected to go into effect the summer of 2018.
