Colorado '09


camp at Oh be Joyful north of Crested Butte


Near Scofield Pass on the way to The Devils Punchbowl


Warning sign before the Devils Punchbowl


Red Mountain pass as seen from the top of Imogene pass 13,180 ft


Coming down the punchbowl trail... looks easy...
hard to believe this trail is responsible for so many deaths


Lake above big mineral camp, up in the Tundra


On top of Imogene pass


My son and I on top of Paradise divide.. "4 wheelin, fun for the whole family! "


My buddy broke his rear driveline yoke on the trail near Marble and I had to pull him up several steep climbs because he has on open diff in the front... old blue never stumbled everyone is laughing because they know I am taking the picture to rub it in later.. like now!

"And a good time was had by all"

We were told there were some great trails at Montrose when we came thru, really setup well for real rock crawlers.
We have one of those Colorado trail guides so we stick to the most well known trails in whatever area we are in.

the trails in montrose are hardcore, and not on any map to keep the tree huggers at bay.
if u ever want to wheel them, let me know, i know how to get there, i just dont know the names of the roads to get there.
here is your typical montrose trail

Its a Rola roofrack and I flipped the ubolts over where the nuts are on the inside of the passenger compartment...
I got the mounting Idea from someone on yotatech you will find it when you search.. I also glued it to the top with a bead of black silicone under each crossbar.
