Colorado B.S. Thread

T G I F

 

Pretty close to me, I live at Copper Mtn. Going to hit up Radium Hot Springs pretty soon for camping.

 

To the lake is fire road, past it is rougher but a stock truck still fine.

Where are coming from that day?

 

Lower Bowns Reservoir Utah. We're planning on a pretty straight shot from there to the site mentioned. We'll drive past Arches, but from I've heard it's worse than a Wal Mart parking lot right now, so we're not planning on stopping for it.

 

Sorry, Indy Pass, 82, and Aspen are all shut down. We're at capacity. Nothing we can do, all the Texans took the available spots. Texans, as far as you can see, in almost every direction.

 

It's worth a stop before 9AM. Get in early

 

We'll be staying the night at Lower Bowns Reservoir in Utah. It's about 3 hours away from Arches. So, with breaking camp etc... 9AM at Arches puts us wake up at 5:00 AM... not my version of fun.

Buuuut Arches would be a good spot to hit. I'm pretty much playing that one by ear. I'll try and hit it by about 10 - 11 AM. We plan on looping under Arches anyway because following the Colorado River seemed like it would be a nicer drive than staying on 70.

If it doesn't look like a shit show, we'll stop.

 

Arches is always a shitshow.

Go in one of the back ways to avoid the line.

 

I was looking at that... seems there are some long roads off 191 that lead in to the park. Wasn't sure if you could enter that way though... looks like one of them drops you in at Devils Garden.

 

That’s one of my absolute favorite drives on pavement.

 

Ya, 128 through Cisco UT... that's the way I planned on going. Looked way better than staying on the Interstate.

 

Well hell... I wasn't even looking at that topo. That makes it even better

 

Anyone have a recommendation for a powder coating shop somewhere along the front range? Preferably near Denver but willing to go north or south.

@JasonLee i could not help but think of you the whole time I watched it.

 

Premium powder coating in Longmont did my front bumper. Front Range Powder Coating up here in fort Collins did my rear bumper. Front Range was a really hassle regarding communication. Premium was better about that part years ago. Both seem to have done a good job. Premium had more color options with different shade..... I'd work with either again but premium would be my first choice

 

i used platinum powder coating in colorado springs for a bed rack and coil springs for my coilovers. they were decent price and did a good job and pretty quick

Lee coated my front and rear bumpers and rock sliders. Excellent work.
