Colorado B.S. Thread

also this just came about in the last few weeks!!! extending the OFF ROAD from montrose to Moab

 

cuz of trail closures? or in passable? i like a challange.

 

Might as well do Webster too.

 

Snow.

I did Pearl Pass last year on the last weekend of August. Was like the first weekend it was open for the year. That trail, along with others in the state, are open for a month or so between snow melting, and new snow falling.

That wouldn't get you anywhere though. Pick Webster or Redcone.

 

is there a trail system that will get me to moab (from the denver area)? i can swing an extra week to run it if its possible.

 

im gonna have to say NO on a trail system that will get you from denver area to moab the week of Rock Therapy. Ill also say NO from the denver area in prime wheeling months all the way to moab without hitting pavement. You could call all the forest services after planning a route on Trail Damage though

Know before you go

I was trying to strategically space it out from my vacation in March instead of bombarding them with requests at once. Then I have to go to Phoenix for the competition which was very sudden so I was like crap. But they accepted at least lol

 

@HomerTaco and I are planning to do as much of kokopelli off-road as we can. Probably leaving Sunday the 29th or Monday the 30th from Denver.

 

I submitted my vacation requests up through July back in December.

 

I submitted my March one back in December haha.

I wasn't too concerned because I don't get paid leave and I already have another dude that will cover me...which just means he'll let stuff pile up for me until I return lol.

 

I started my new job in January, and made sure Moab time off was approved before I even started. Also started earning paid time off right away, so between that and Memorial Day being a paid holiday, I get paid most of the time I'm in Moab.

Never had a job with real benefits before.

 

That is epic!

 

Looks like @sean266 has been playing with the emoji's

 

Pretty hot here today..probably got above 80 today it's 72 right now and passes are opening up quick. They opened Ophir pass to the top on the east side..think we're going up tonight for some s'mores and stars.

 

That sounds so much better then netflix and chill

 

last time I drove back from Moab I missed most of Colorado due to darkness... Looking forward to actually seeing it in daylight.

 

Finished half my skid. This will get me through Moab.

 

Hows the mig welding learning going. Having any fun?

 

I kill it on flat, overhead and vertical runs. But tube kicks my ass.

So if you get your gears done saturday are you still wanting to break them in on sunday? Mothers day?
