Colorado Wheeling

[BlueTJCO]

so are you pansy asses going to go somewhere or are you all going to just talk about it as usual?

I am game for Saturday and I'm game for just about any trail that is fairly close. Wheeler would rock.....Spring Creek will be very busy.......

Twin Cone is another one that is awesome and Red Cone is open to the top. The only problem is there is no way back out except UP if you come down the face and that is off-limits and I'm sure damn scarry

Spring Creek will be packed so I dont think we should run it. That would be a fun one to run during the week sometime...

Well, you're going to be surprised when you hear this...

I WENT TO WHEELER LAKES TODAY!!!! I stopped and turned around at the V in the interest of self preservation. The trail is kinda narrow, but it's mostly soft stuff, and not hard scratchy wood. I almost...almost got high centered on the obstacle right beyond the overhead mine. On the way up, I scraped just a bit and forgot to remember my line. On the way down, I scraped the undercarriage protection, and put a scrape on the skid plate. Otherwise, it was ok. It seems like the ladder-protection might have pushed up into the muffler a little bit, but it's not bent looking, so I suppose the muffler was always there. Anyway, it was pretty fun. I would like to go again with a group for spotting and experience, and get past the V. I have never scraped before on anything, so that's why it was a bit unnerving.

BTW a boyscout group or something was watching the scraping obstacle, and found it incredibly entertaining. The counselors were overjoyed as well.

I also figured out why a Hummer's armor, approach, departure, and breakover angles are so important. I would have probably destroyed anything else.

Now you can comment on how much of a moron I am Mooncricket.

It looked doable, but with just me and no spotters, I would have destroyed something...

And my WiFi connection doesn't like your video. It's buffering like 2% every minute.

I was looking at the pics on traildamage, and nothing really looks familiar, except the overhead mine, and the V. Are there two routes?

I don't remember going over anything like this: At least, I mean I wasn't lifting a wheel way up like that.

I may be able to go this Saturday, the earlier the better for me

Haha. Shaggy is everywhere. He's been leeching off us for years.

Well, this would be a fun trip. It is clear of snow if anyone wants to go on Saturday. Are there any other trails in the Montezuma area that you would like me to check out tomorrow? To see if they're not snowcovered anymore?

Can you run Holy Cross to see if there's any snow?
