Alee891's Radiant Red Build & BS

Flowmaster, that's what it was! That's bud, I'll get to it eventually!

 

Thanks bud

We'll have to do a transmission/cut all of Kolton's front end up party soon haha. I apologize for not getting to shoot the shit more. We seemed to be at different ends of the group all evening.

 

Trans install and tubbing...sounds like hell but shit why not ahahah!! Yeah we did except in the beginning lol but its not the last time ill be wheeling and camping with you guys...guarantee that lol!

 

Well... did Spring Creek today and came home with a little bed side damage. Apparently it piss pounded in Idaho Springs late last night and there wasn't much evidence of a storm until we got over Obstacle 1. The rest of the trail from that point on was an eroded, muddy, greasy bitch. Had to pull the winch out on Obstacle 3 and that's where we encountered the damage. The rock garden was pretty nasty too... lots of getting out, finding a line, sliding off, re-positioning, stacking rocks, repeat. Amidst all of the slow moving and burning clutch, I had a fucking blast and I'm glad my co-worker Dillon was there to help, as we ran the trail solo today.

I picked up a new (to me) camera early this week and was itching to get out and put it to use today. Still getting used to manual focus and pretty much how the cam works entirely, but I'm stoked to not rely on my phone for photos anymore; and so, here is a massive photo dump. I'm going to practice cleaning up photos from here on out, but all files are as they were shot, no editing...which will be obvious to anyone that knows how to run a camera

8/27/2016 - Spring Creek:




















Here's a bit of GoPro footage from the trail. It's chopped up and doesn't really depict the difficult portions of the trail itself, nor do I have any good footage from the Rock Garden. We were moving very slowly through that section and the only clip I have is 10:00min of being hung up on the same spot.
Anyway...

What camera did you get?

 

One that takes pictures. Duhhhhh

 

Sony Nex-F3. It's a few years old, but I picked it up from someone that seemed like they fell on tough times for a smoking deal ($150). It's perfect for someone like myself that has no clue about cameras, and it's a hell of a lot better than my cellphone.

 

Haha we'll see. Immediately after it happened I said fuck it, doing high clearance... but we'll see what my budget/mind tells me a month from now.

 

Dude you're truck on 35s

Uh I'm not going 35s I'm not going 35s I'm not going 35s

 

Yes you are.... Dont resist it. You cant change the future. Its going to happen

 

Well not any time soon so... Maybe if I move to Colorado I'll move close to you guys and we could knock it out

 

Sounds like a good reason to move to the best state to be in.

 

Well I was born there and now all I wanna do is go back. I'll be there next week for a wedding tho. Colorado Springs

 

Come say hey!!!

 

How close are you? I was young so I have no clue what's close other than Denver, Pueblo and a few other towns. I'll be in downtown Springs at Phantom Canyon one day

 

South side of denver in littleton/ centennial

 

Yeah that's not ringing a bell haha

 

Hahah if you look at a map c470 makes a loop around denver. We are at the bottom of the loop

 

Damn! Running solo! I'd like to get revenge on that trail for breaking my cv! Want a tcase skid first though.
