What a great weekend . It was nice to finally meet a lot of the people I have talked to on here

I ran Holy Cross on Friday and Carnage on Saturday, I didn't get a whole lot of pictures but I did get a few.

Cleveland Rock on Holy Cross

 

Passing by Holy Cross city on the way down

 

Next up was Carnage

That trail has become nasty, everything is getting more and more dug out (not that I'm complaining ). I didn't get any pictures until around half way up the trail.







Everyone stopping just before the V-Notch

 

As soon as I saw the group in front of us I knew we were in for some fun







Then it was our turn!

 

 

 

Looks like a blast, wish I could have made it but, alas, my junk don't run right now!

 

Whats up with the stick in his tire?

 

We couldn't get his headlight away from the rock that is actually a strap. It does kinda look like a stick.

 

LOL.

The last time Aaron did that trail, he said, "oh, I need armor."

Looks like he could have used Scotty's bumper!

 

I've also had my brother's tubing bender sitting in the garage for over a year

I could have used Scotty's bumper as well as his rear straight jacket panels and his family roll cage

I ended up with a broken headlight, broken taillight, more body damage, rebent my tie rod, and my hydro assist bent up the driver's side bumpstop along with tweaking the frame under the bumpstop rather than just breaking the welds.

 

Here's a few pictures of the exit of Carnage. A large boulder had rolled into the middle and made it almost impossible to get up. Cory did make it up but it took a lot of pulling, pushing and a few well placed rocks (and some amazing driving, of course ) .

Nice Vid...

 

Great video

I wish someone would have got video of my flop in the V-notch, it would be pretty funny to watch. There's alway's next time!

 

Dude! I was changing the tape in the camera while you were flopping like a fish in the Notch.

 

 

I had a great trip out and it was wonderful to meet you CO guys. Thanks Aaron for setting up the CO4RJ and spotting me up parts of Holy Cross and noticing I wasn't in 4WD for the start of the trail LOL. Thanks to all you guys that helped spot Blackie up or down. Especially Mr Doug and Ike for their great spotting on Chinamans. Your work was very much appreciated!

I'm uploading some videos, but it is very slow going so more will come later.

Grizzly lake and some trail above Baldwin lake (Sat)

























Chinamans (Sun) I was the first one up and out on Sun and saw this herd of elk at the trail head.

 

DALE!!!

DUDE,

I didn't even know that was you!!!!

I even commented to my friend Brian: "Wow, that black truck is sick. I wonder whose that is?"

My bad...Dangit, wish I would have talked to you more.
