    Nice! ^^^

    I went up to Bald Mtn up here in NoCo and was pretty surprised at how fun it was. No real big obstacles but lots of good size rocks. Sorry no pics :anonymous:

    Cool trip! So, Tin Cup is open now? Was there anything left of the big drift at the top on the St. Elmo side?

    It was all clear except for one snow drift that blocked about 1/3 of the trail for about 20 yards just shy of the pass on the St. Elmo side. It's easily driveable in a small truck, but I wouldn't want anything wider right there!

    The pass itself was pretty rough, but we never felt outmatched. Definitely gorgeous for scenery and history.

    Just got home an hour ago from wheeling and camping in the wind river range of Wyoming with my buddies James and Nick. Amazing times were had by all of us, too bad you guys couldn't make it. The company was awesome-so good to wheel with James (WishboneRunner) again and my best buddy Nick haven't been able to get a camping trip in for too long so this was perfect. The scenery was top-notch, the wheeling was great and just got better! I got myself a new dent and bragging rights to go with it.
    I did this:

    To get here:

    And finished the trip strong by looking at this:

    By driving over stuff like this:

    Yep, scared of the shelf road and switch backs going down into telluride. Slight fear of heights but still rock climb and hike 14ers
