Black Bear Pass is great fun, if you don't have a problem with driving on a very narrow road on the face of a cliff, with tight switchbacks :shock: To quote C.W. McCall, "Mary Elizibeth drew a picture of the road, and it looked like a whole bunch of Z's and W's all strung together..." The...

Heh, from what I understand, Holy Cross MAY be a little bit too extreme for this crowd. I got some wheelin' buddies both from CO and that go there every year. Gonna see if they have or know of a real good trail guidebook.

Where's a good site to get trail info for CO? Anyone up for some Holy Cross action if it's close enough?

IN! looks like i'll have a challenge planning my deliveries that friday... what with pulling a 38' gooseneck and all...


but if mom decides to go, i only gotta take a little trailer, since dad'll have his LJ behind his 5th wheel instead of me hauling both on my trailer (with sleeper).

Umm, I think Dad needs a new windshield frame. Tweeder gets whatever is left after Dad picks it over!

EXACTLY!!! I don't need no steenking windshield!

Road trip july 23-25 for the parts lj tub is in bad shape but windshield frame is good as well as the engin gear boxes and axles & hud drums. but I have seen people driving tubs that are in worse shape than this one. It does have a full rool cage I like what I got but don't look foreward to the...

The folks rolled in about 20 minutes ago.

Holy crap! Ya'll got Momma to go play, too???

AND I just got off the phone with Dad. They're "broke down" just a few miles into Iowa from the north side. Lost a wheel bearing on the travel trailer. Being as there is NOBODY open today, they're stuck there for the night until he can get parts and be back on the road in the morning. It'l...

AFAIK, they weren't planning on being here until tomorrow evening.

and if that useless clown in our White House keeps it up, you're gonna like the exchange rate even more.....right up until prices make the corresponding leap.

Larry, do you have high-res versions of the pix you posted?

It is Friday night and the kids are going to bed. I'm sitting in the driver's seat of the LJ, and thinkingt I'm way to big of a guy to be driving this thing (6'2" approx 230). Then, I think of these pics and almost everyone that was at the meet is at least as big as me, if I'm judging it right...

The Redrock 4-Wheelers difficulty scale is only from 1 to 5. But the Poison Spider trail, like all the rest they rate, is rated for the most difficult obstacle, which may or may not have a bypass. I would have to say, that for the most part, the Poison Spider Mesa trail is worth an average rating o...

Poison Spider is rated a 4 of 5......an 8 on a scale of 10
