Colorado B.S. Thread

I believe they just all hang out at Tru Automotive with their non-SAE "fog" lights on.
Yes, I'm still annoyed by the white 4runner that blinded the shit out of me last week.

 

It's going to be closed quite a while...

I hate all things and people that are white...

 

Is that why you sold your truck?

 

Thats why i bought a super white T4R because i also hate myself

 

is another site they use

 

Well, then it looks like you belong on here, not some other forum.

 

lmao - is there a traitor list on here of people who have swapped from trucks to whore-runners because i may want some of there take off parts

 

Can I join you with my Surf? Though the Taco isn't sold yet, know anyone?

 

Quick look on the maps shows a mix of road 600 and 140 that kinda sounds like what you described, exits north and Bypasses the canyon after twisting its way between Glenwood Springs and Dotsero. If not then it might be an other way to get around it.

 

Holy crap that's crazy... looks like it'll just continue with each rain storm. I wish the drone spun around once it was up at the top though to see down into the canyon

 

That will be partially closed and under reconstruction for years. Although something has to be done to reopen the route fairly soon.
Mother Nature essentially gave CDOT the finger.
The trees won't grow back quick enough to hold the soil together. a retaining wall would be useless. That section has become a new seasonal runoff area. Has the railroad been affected by it at all? I was wondering if the train is still running thru it.

Edit: it appears the track usage is suspended out of safety concerns more than actual damage.

 

there are a few CO yota FB groups where you might have better luck

 

Well at least what's his name "Instagram hero" can't take a dump in it now.

 

I had a friend make a 3D model from that video. Check it out:

Mesh: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/i70-mudslides-mesh-8b4cfe0cf2e14ff5ad2612994a12227e

 

that's pretty cool! Can you animate it to simulate the mudslides themselves?

 

If I get a trial to the software, I'll create an overlay you can put on Google Earth to further nerd out.

 

I imagine the next trick in a row is to find some reference points that wouldn't change, then send the drone up after each subsequent slide, and then compare the models, you should be able to get an estimate of the volume of material that slid.
