Colorado B.S. Thread

Hoping Ost will post that water crossing vid

 

I-70 was

 

The creek was pretty cool, and coming back down a different spur was really tight trees!!! I could hear Matt screaming about his glass from inside my truck!!!

Just kidding buddy but that portion seemed way tighter than Yankee hill last year on the Kingston run!!!

Ill post pictures but I have some good Ol new CO pin stripes

 

I think everyone does after that last leg before the trail ended. Haha. Also, I put pics up in the trip report thread.

 

Yeah sorry if I led everyone down the wrong leg of the trail, I swear someone on the cb told me that was the way. I have so much striping that it doesn't phase me anymore.

 

Put the bullbar out of it's misery yesterday on Pole Hill Road. Aaron would be happy.

 

I added a little Alaskan pin-striping yesterday. There were areas that the trees and bushes extended over the whole trail.

Looks like you guys had some fun.

 

Pics or it didn't happen

 

That crossing was great, but your truck made it look like nothing!

Wow, such different kind of trails, looks like it was a blast! Thanks for the sweet pics!

 

There's parts comparable to back home but the mud is what differs. It's super thick, sticky and the dirt around it while even dry tends to sink.

The dirt is fine too so everything is dusty. There is parts of the trails that are rocky as well, but it's weird seeing everything so green unlike Colorado.

I wish we could have gone passed the area we could not get through, apparently there's a sweet waterfall a few more miles up. The ATVs and side-by-sides even had a heck of time getting through that area.

 

Oh I was

Name of the game

Kept her on trail


Edit: I see no trees

 

Yea just some grass

 

No problem, it's was a fun day and I got to use my sliders on that leg of the trail!!! Ill buff my CO pin stripes out till the next run and do it all again, no biggie

Good to finally meet you yesterday

 

You too Phil! Your truck looked great. As a matter of fact, everyone's trucks looked great. We were a pretty formidable group.

 

This weekend was a fun trip. I hope everyone had fun, 13? trucks was a very large group and I think we did very well considering the lack of communication (CB) and not knowing the trail well or at all. I'm going to try to find an external antenna for my handheld so at least I could loan it out. Right now it only works as a spotting tool (that we didn't need) because you can't listen/trasmit from inside a vehicle very well (faraday cage).

So my winch quit this weekend. I can't belive on such a light pull it would just give up. It is a warn 9.5 xp. I did some electrical tests today and it seems all of my solenoids are passing voltage when energized. I was thinking they had high resistance because when it 1st quit the motor would groan. I'm going to work at getting the winch out of the ABR today, I hope I don't have to pull the bumper. Some research online has indicated these might have motor issues. I guess I could just hope for a stuck brush or some other easy fix.

And for my epic failure, I don't have any pictures. I need a camera that is not my phone. I'm not sure if I should just go for a point and shoot or go SLR. I should just get my 35mm back out and shoot some black and whites, build a dark room in my crawl space and go old school.
