please shoot me a PM next time you guys go up! I have a busy summer but there are a few Saturdays coming up i could go....

that trail is just outside of castle rock by .5 hour

we maybe re-running it hopefully soon.

...I'm surprised, especially with how the thing rides - like a rock. Oh well, the Ranchos stay for a while, then!!

Jim, What a blast! Great Trail, Great group of folks and we even got some winching in! good stuff.

that was a great for the maiden voyage, and to get used to the SWB vs. my 60. I did learn a few things:

1. Quit desk job or get Power Steering
2. get rid of that mag-mount cb antenna - I'm tired of getting it knocked off all the time.
3. Listen to and watch your spotters, even when your arms are about to fall off from cranking the wheel.
4. wheeling a locked 60 is different than the open 40 - BUT just as fun!
5. I need to get out and wheel more often

Thanks for posting those pics!! great fun, great run.

InsanityIsBorn · 07-11-07, 07:21 PM

Its gonna suck..its still in Buena Vista and I am in Gunnison now.. gonna drive down there and use a friends AAA and get it towed to Gunnison and to a mechanic see what he says....oh well... sorry to hijack ur thread Jim lets get her back on track.
