    Monte you've kept me thoroughly entertained this am at work in my down time, and have me yearning to go to Colorado! I so wish we had trails that you could ride on for that long. Hell even if we had some you couldn't go and complete in less than half a day.

    Can't wait to read the rest bud :)

    True... But how often do we need winches here? Besides yucky mud.

    I'd trade the trees for trails like this any day though lol plus they have trees just not on sides of cliffs :p

    Oh shhhhhhhh. Welp, this is the best story I've read on here.

    The pic labeled 'The FRV under the stars', what settings were you using on your cam? I tried to get a pic like that this past weekend to no avail. :pout:
