Lucky dog. We got a decent amount and it looks icy underneath.
Anything heading to Animas Forks was fun too, like Corkscrew Gulch and California Pass. Ophir was ok and Clear/Crystal (can’t remember which) Lake was a fun short run. We usually camped at the KOA just outside of Ouray, but stayed at the hotel in Ouray a couple times too, and most recently we rented a house a few miles up the foothills outside of Ridgeway. That was my favorite place to stay - elk could be seen every night. We started out going over the mountain passes with Jeep’s and Blazers, even a Ext Cab F250 once. But switched to 4 wheelers for the last few times out there. We could cover a lot more ground, and everyone got to drive and have fun. Just got to be a PITA if we wanted to head into town or catch another trail with all the loading and unloading..I've done that trail, been a few years. When I first moved out here, a good friend of mine Bill, had a jeep shop in Grand Junkyard. Friday afternoons several of us would load two modded CJ's and a rock buggy on my big GN trailer and head for SW CO, or to Moab for the weekend. 25 years ago Moab was a fun place, not the trendy hipster infested place like it is now.
We went wheeling almost every weekend. Spent a lot of time going to SW CO, did all the big trails down there more then once, poughkeepsie, black bear, imogene, engineer pass from lake city to Ouray and back, and others I forget the names of. I remember being caught up on imogene in a whiteout blizzard labor day weekend, could hardly see 10-12 feet, we froze are asses off waiting for that storm to pass, in bikini top jeeps, with no doors on them, heaters doing nothing.
Another friend of ours Seth had a bar in Telluride back then, we would leave my rig there, and head up in the hills for a weekend of wheeling & camping, and drinking. We were up in the hills around 11,000 feet, on a trip 4th of July weekend, and crawled out of the tents in the morning to a nice blanket of 4-5" of fresh snow. That was pretty cool. Had a ton of fun down there, I don't miss the hangovers, but miss the hippy chicks that always had a summer camp outside Telluride, running around half naked and partying, skinny dipping at 3am in some near by lake, great times down there.
I think he doing a lot of guessing because unless he read the last 1,000+ pages at the very least, he has no knowledge of our inside jokes.
I’m not sure if you’re ready for that level yet.
Good morning Mike.
I guess good afternoon to you Randy.
He’s still morning there
Not just yet. We are in central time. 11:21am
Wrong place for a fancy metric hammer…
I heard Dallas already has a epic hatchet wound
Sideways apparently.
