    How long is this one and how technical? If there is exposure I'll need to see if the wife can find something else to do that day. I've been easing here into offroad, which she is finally taking to, but the exposure will need to wait. She flipped out on me last time there was exposure and it was not really much :)

    Your wife sounds like mine. She is starting to come around with wheeling, but the slightest bit of exposure and she is white knuckling the door handle/oh shit handle and such.

    Find me a Helicopter and I can cure your spouses of that, it involves hanging them out the door at ~6K' by a thin strap and then they will see how nice & secure they are in your Taco! :headbang:

    Has anyone been on Bunce School Road trial near Estes Park lately? I actually took a rental F150 through there but didn't get far...lol. I am from Ga and looked up what I thought was an easy trail....I was wrong.

    The whole rental truck got me...lol I scrubbed the frame many a times. And guys in ATVs told me I couldn't get through much further. I just took their advice and turned around

    Sure you didn't turn up Ironclads or something?

    You could get @Madjik_Man 's Prius down Bunce, or @Star-Lord 's Tinder girl's Fiat.

    I damn sure don't remember it being that smooth. Maybe I took a wrong turn. I didn't think I headed towards the plane crash site....it's been a few years since I can't remember everything.

    This is true. But keep in mind Judas Prius is the toughest Prius to roll off the line.

    I started a different thread asking this, but I figured I'd ask it here too: has anyone run Caribou Road from the Old Caribou town site behind Nederland south to Eldora within the last couple years? I love the northern section starting at rainbow lakes, but I've never run it all the way through to Eldora. In particular, how's the steep descent into Eldora? Appreciate any feedback!

    Went to Kelly Flats today with a coworker. He drove a full size 70s GMC truck. He did good but he couldn't follow me through the chutes.

    That is all.
