TRIP IS OVER; STORY POSTED

September 20, 2019.

...Eventually, we found ourselves at the top of Cottonwood Peak. -ish. There are a couple caveats here worth mentioning. First, no road actually went to the top. Second, even the highest point of the road wasn't technically the top of the peak - it skirted along the southwest side by a few hundred feet - both horizontally and vertically.

And that was just fine with Brett - more than fine in fact! He jumped out of his truck and immediately challenged Monte to a race to the top. Of course, Monte being only slightly competitive meant that we really had to twist his arm to get him to accept the challenge.

Right. And on the count of three, they were off.

Squeaky is in brown.
Backdawg in white.



@Squeaky Penguin
@Blackdawg

Is anyone supercharged? I know Monte has one but also has a couple other Tacomas

LOL never mind, didn't see the photo at first. Thought we were talking about a truck race

 

Who's who? I think the guy on the right in the brown shirt will win...

 

What gearing are they running

 

My money is on Squeaky, but history shows that 10 feet from the top he will break something.

Kidding, he lives at elevation, so he has the advantage.

 

I hope there is a video at the end of all of this.

 

View from the top. Colorado, Cottonwood peak.

First post updated to identify the runners.

 

This oughta be good

 

Monte will win. Brett will trip and hurt himself.

 

FIFY

 

How many pee breaks are you giving them?

 

Ha yeah. I see a lot of twisted ankles with all those rocks.

 

Was a prerun inspection done on Monte's shoe's? Bet he has a blowout

 

The vote results thus far say it all...

 

brown had a 1 foot head start, disqualified.

 

Given the lack of updates on this thread since it was posted, I'd say it doesn't bode well for anyone involved

Or they're still trying to make it to the top

 

Must be no service at the top.

In reality, I would guess that the results will be released when Turbo releases the blog post on his website, https://adventuretaco.com

 

I was going to post the results when I got home from the trip, but I like this idea better!

The poll results are awesome.

And remember, we're all winners as long as we try our hardest.
