Wooden canoe paddle to stir them, pull the pot etc....

 

I told you I was going to be in Arkansas and might need to borrow some of your money.... did you not remember that conversation?

 

Possible dumb question incoming.

This last weekend I decided to check out Hayden Pass, it was along my way home so I figured why not. I heard it was a pretty easy trail and doable alone, and this was my first time taking my truck on an actual trail. I raced motorcycles (Motocross, Enduro) for 15+ years, so I felt very comfortable maneuvering and picking lines on the trail (I know these are completely different things, but to me they feel very similar).

But I was concerned about one thing... Coming across someone else on the trail heading in the opposite direction. I understand whoever is on the descent yields way to the other party, or you assess the situation and do what's practical. But some of that stretch of trail didn't have a turnoff for quite a ways.

What do most people do in this situation, I feel like it'd be best to check if the trail is clear ahead before proceeding, but that can be a long trek. And driving in reverse halfway back up the mountain doesn't sound like much fun at all.

 

You are correct that uphill vehicle should have the right of way but given the flood of people now off-roading don't be surprised if this isn't followed.

One place I worry about this is Ophir pass, barely got by a broken down Motorcycle there and he had pulled way up into scree field.

You would be surprised at how often you can find a place to squeeze by each other when it looks like it will not work.

 

Mourning Time



40K barrels of Jim Beam burnt

 

angel's share and devil's cut weren't enough.




Not a big Jim Beam drinker but it was good when I didn't know any better

 

Used to get a tall boy of PBR and a shot of Jameson or Jim Beam for like $4(?) at a bar in Olde Town Arvada

 

when I ran T-33 a couple weeks ago we ended up backing down the hill 3x for large groups of jeeps/SXS with inexperienced drivers that would not back up the trail

 

thanks for the vacation!




sucks about the fraud

 

Oh boy, here come all the whiskey/bourbon snobs to tell you that that stuff isnt worth drinking because it isnt made by smelly hippies with excessive armpit hair in Boulder. And go.....

 

lawd if you aren't paying $45 or more for a fifth of bourbon you aren't even drinking bourbon. That's acetone with liquid smoke flavor added

 

I had a roommate who would smash through handles of Old Crow bourbon mixed in iced tea. that stuff was gross

 

@Squeaky Penguin

Send me your address. I’ll send you your new camping/chainsaw footwear.

 

Gotta be 12 Volt, all the other places are too bougie to offer a deal like that

 

I think it was cheap skates. I did go to 12 volt for the 2 pins of pbr for $3 or whatever it was after 11 pm

 

forgot about cheapskates, only been in there a couple of times. Tbh, I go to the bougie craft beer spots haha

 

Did the kids go and invent a new word again?

 

285 currently

Just west of Evergreen

 

is that a picture of them all going back to where they came from?! Gosh I sure hope so! Can't imagine what Sunday PM return route will look like. Oh shit, I can and it is equally as bad.
