Colorado B.S. Thread

It was lit. I got my first rock rash on my driver rim.

Most excellent cruising with you man!

 

They put something on the roads around me.
I've been told it's mag chloride.

 

It was a good run. There were dogs having fun. There was a Bronco teetering half off the trail. We saw deer. Explored a leg of the trail new to us. Our trucks made noises we didn’t like. I pooped in an outhouse twice (I made noises we didn't like). This trip had everything!

 

Post the trip!

I'm fairly confident i know the old wooden outhouse you speak of if its off the north end of moon gulch. Camped there with my niece and brother years ago. That's such a great network of trails there. All ties into central city and Yankee Hill. I have spent a fair amount of time exploring that area. Lots of mining history (and visible pollution) along gamble gulch road. Did you get to see the shaft house?

 

I used the toilets at the pickle gulch group campsite. Just sounded better to say outhouse. If you’re referring to the creepy shack with graffiti on the side where I suspect cult rituals are performed nightly, we didn’t go that far. There’s a big open junction with a bowl (map) where you can play a little maybe halfway down the trail. I don’t recall any interesting obstacles on the trail past that point, so we turned around there.

 

Tons more to explore back there. You need to go back and spend a full day. This is the craphouse on moon gulch circa 2019.




Shaft house:



Such a beautiful place to explore.

 

RIP.

 

Ah, we stayed on the main trail except for one offshoot before the junction I mentioned, so we didn’t see either of those you mentioned. I’m thinking of another shack. But yeah, I’ve noticed many adjacent trails I’d like to explore. Just didn’t have time yesterday.

Friday morning entertainment.

Friday afternoon. Crown Point trip.

It was chilly at 10k feet. 5 hours on the bike=very good day.

Check this sequoia out!!!

 

BV never disappoints.

 

@Madjik_Man @JasonLee

It isn't exactly what I was looking for, but it's a premium example of what it is.

A bona fide 1st gen regular cab topper, and even has a key for the locks.

 

Seafoam green. Good fucking luck color matching that.

 

"Surfside Green Mica"

I wanted a white topper from the start though. Proper '90s mini truck setup. I've seen some Surfside Green trucks with color-matched toppers and didn't care for that look.

 

Nice!

FBM or CL find?

 

Discovered a tic on me last night. Wondering if it hitched a ride back with me on Friday and was just chillin on my body or if the bastards are in the lawn. I was only under trees once and never in any grass. Checked Archer, found nothing.
On a side note, had a dude knock on the door a few weeks ago selling lawn treatments for insects. He mentioned tics, spiders, etc. In 30 years have never had a problem, but have relocated a few spiders in the last week and now the tic. Did that dude release a swarm of bugs on the neighborhood?

 

Bold sales strategy

 

There’s at least three pest control companies canvassing my neighborhood.

They say, “oh, your neighbor ————— right around the corner just used our services..”

I reply, “no she didn’t. We’re friends. We walk our dogs together every day. I know she didn’t use any pest control services.”

Then I look at my “No Soliciting” sign hanging right next to the front door.

btw - Rocky Mtn Wood/Red ticks are very common in the foothills.
