Bring beer

 

Yes and no. Depends on who makes it to a meet and personalities.

I’ll admit I run with a small group, but we had a need guy added a while back.

I tell all new guys that ask, post a trail you want to run and people will sign up/show up.

 

Not a whole lot of "wheel" in that steering... um... Device?

 

I finally got around to replacing my steering rack bushings, inner and outer tie rods, and front diff fluid. 1hr to remove the rack and probably less to reinstall. It took longer to extract the old bushings than anything. Life with a lift is great.

 

Cottonwood Pass is fully paved these days but no info/ experience on Pearl or Taylor Pass difficulty to get you to Aspen.

It's been awhile since I ran Hagerman but you shouldn't have any problems unless Erosion has really taken a toll.

 

Running too large of groups makes for a long day depending on the trail. Smaller groups is what I tend to run with too

And as Josh said, post what trail you want to run and you'll get some peeps to go

 

Saw this on another thread but its very prevalent for us.

 

The essentials remember the non/limited enforcement days

 

Did the new guy even have a lift?

 

Why are #1 and #2 seeds in the same bracket?

 

Think it's just a bad bracket display. Should be dynamic seeding.

 

It's been a few months since I've been over Cottonwood pass (the one between Gypsum and Carbondale/El Jebel), but pretty sure there are still significant stretches that are not yet paved, as this dummy recently discovered...

 

Figures, they close it completely for 2 years and Partial closure another year and this is what we get...

that's a different cottonwood pass... the one currently closed runs between Gypsum and El Jebel or Carbondale and is not a major route but trucks always try and use it when I-70 gets shut down through glenwood canyon because google...it never goes well

 

Whats worse is they are trying to use independence pass which a semi physically cannot get through

 

I would have thought there is a truckers version of google maps they would use. Tells them about low bridges, truck friendly mountain passes, etc.

 

Cottonwood is similar for large semis, there is a very steep, narrow, and tight section coming down out of Gypsum...

You'd think so but this happens every single time i-70 gets shut down through the canyon...

 

So blinky isn't a thing!?

 

There is a Garmin one, has it's own fee's etc. Doubt it covers much of our "back country" or they ignore it.
