Colorado Trip Reports

We hit the trail today...all I can say is it was outstanding



I followed the tacoma up. Here he backed up next to me for a pic. You can see where his diffs and housings dragged as he cleared the snow. As well in front of my truck you can see how deep he left it when I was pushing through his tracks. I have about 20 minutes of video to sort out. My truck ran great like a mini tank. The jeep on 35's and double locked...um is stuck again.

 

Looks fun, is that Vallecito in the back?

 

Wish I didn't work weekends. I'm dying to do some snow bashing, just don't know where to go.

 

Friday's trip. Made first tracks, was the only one on the trail that day.

Archer making first tracks

End of the trip.

What Archer does every time we stop. There is something under there he really wants.

 

soooooooon! Awww shit, I just realize I have crappy tires next winter I'll hit the snow with you!

 

@NightEagle and myself went up to 7mile, again, today.
The entrance to Stump Hill

Top of Stump Hill, Leo stuck.

And because I didn't take any other pics, more of Leo stuck.



After I rescued him from that drift, we made our way out to the top of 7mile.

Sign of a hard working truck.

To be explained later...


And a side trip to Lost Lake to play on the ice.
The aftermath of a tug-o-war.


Awesome day!

That's cuz that 4Runner is a TANK. Sooooo sic. Looks like you guys had fun. No way my truck would have kept up .

 

No it's a new lake right outside town, isn't open to the public yet.

Thanks it feels exactly like that. We are going up tonight here at

 

A little more of a trip report...This is a road right outside town about 3 miles. There are several gates on it but they are still open so we have made the most of it. When we got to the entrance there was a Boy Scout troop set up for a cookout and sledding. I started airing down and went to 4 psi. As we were airing down the troop leader came over to ask us what our intentions were. He was real concerned we'd be stuck right away and tear up the road in the middle of their fun. After we chatted and he saw my friends 39's at 3psi and me at 4psi he realized what was happening they all became interested. They were still convinced we wouldn't make it far and asked if we had shovels. We didn't and didn't need them.



First part of climb. I got stuck right at the top of this last time.

IN 4k


Waiting on the heep at the top of first climb.

 

Another gate was open...and the snow is getting deeper. Very impressed with my ability to back up and then move forward again and continue.

It was a great day running 7 mile and messing around on lost lake with @BDN.


The only pic I have from 7 mile.


So the explanation for this was that, I left my window down while drifting in 4 wheel drive.




After math of tug of war.

What my truck looked like after all the fun on the lake.

 

Looks like someone explicated all over your interior

 

Ha-ha you so funny. Brett did the same thing to his truck.

 

Although I would also make fun of you for leaving the windows down, Eric was making fun of your spelling. In this case, you misspelled explanation and ended up with a different word entirely. Which in turn means I now know the definition for explicate. Your failure at typing has taught me something!


Anyways, looks like fun gents. I was busy shoveling 3' or so of settled snow off my brother's roof today.

 

Have we all not figured out, that I can't spell for a crap.

On nice, did you go to my mom's house and shovel her roof also?

 

Also struggles with constructing sentences.

But I'm curious how you didn't realize it was down as you were taking faceshots??
