Colorado B.S. Thread

Lol yeah we probably wouldn't even need cops if that was the case.

 

Nope!

 

Where in Colorado did you live? As far as hiking trails I'm sure Devin or Phil will chime in.

What bedrack is on your truck? I'm too lazy to look at your build thread

 

Idaho springs, Englewood, San Luis Valley.... Mom moved around a lot as a kid

 

Oh for sure! got a map pulled up of the counties right now... handling it between fires that break out here at work lol

 

Welcome, and your truck is SICK!

Where are you looking to hike? Ive done a bit of hiking around this state and could help out a bit. Mainly nowadays my wife and I are into either great scenery hikes or 14ers.

What is COBDR?

EDIT: i see your from VA right now, hampton roads area too so south VA! I grew up in NOVA and went to college at VCU in richmond, i miss that area!

 

Colorado Backcountry Discovery Route... it's a motorcycle route but driveable...

I'm planning a trip in late summer to do it

Stop saying that!

There is nothing "north" about Saudi Aurora.
It's all south and east, both of which are bad like Kansas and Mexico

 

I would take engineer pass from ouray to lake city rather than cinnamon pass. I thought the trail was more fun and the views were better. Just my opinion though.

 

so apparently I'm blind... they do have a map of the trail heads...



DOH! don't mind me I'm a paste eater

 

How about EWK Extreme West Kansas?

good to know... yeah I'd heard a lot about Engineer pass, and other than this trip hadn't heard much about cinnamon... wonder what it'd do to the time table


Thanks!

 

Engineer took a little bit longer when I did it. It's a little bit longer, but not much and the last few miles you could burn rubber on if you wanted to as it's just a gravel road for the last bit before it dumps you off right in the middle of Lake City. Time table wise, negligible. A motorcycle would have a tougher time on engineer and that's probably why the route originally takes cinnamon.

Or the hood. My buddies live off Smokey Hill and it's a short commute to Buckley

That's what I was gonna call it "Saudi Aurora"

 

Sweet... any chance of you joining?

 

Won't be able to. Labor day weekend is my birthday and the wife wants to do something to celebrate me moving up to the next decade, haha (30).

That and I don't trust my beater enough to take it on that type of trip.

 

Nothing says 30 like a week long mobile trail run/camping trip! ;-)

and you have several months to get that beater in to shape!

 

I'd love to, just don't have the time.

Going to be doing a ton of maintenance on it next month, but I wouldn't drop a dime in upgrading this thing to take it on trails. Currently saving the pennies for a 3rd gen to SAS.

 

Yeah I know how that goes


I want a 1st gen Runner to build (SAS if needed) my all time favorite Toyota... though I'd have to do a motor swap too... needs a 3.4 or bigger

 

That's the exact reason I want a 3rd gen.
