Well I have been quite busy getting back to work so haven't had a lot of time to post pics. We did some wheeling in the US for 3 weeks this July and had a great time in mostly CO and UT, the main event being the 8th annual FJ Cruiser Summit, as always held in Ouray CO.

Since I haven't even looked at my photos yet, I'll start out with a Youtube video shot by one of the trucks on my Black Bear Pass run, which goes from Ouray, over the Black Bear Pass, into Telluride. The pass is 12,840' / 3,910m. It is for me one of the most memorable and spectacular runs.

As I mentioned to a few of the members at the meeting, some people get a little anxious at the height and view, so when I spot them at the switchback (in the vid where he goes up to the edge), I made a habit of telling people "... okay stop, now put it in reverse, back up..." because I've seen a couple of people forget to put it in reverse!

Best viewed full screen @ 1080p of course:

 
Very cool - have you the GPS track for that run?
 
That's some pucker factor right there.
 
Yes I do Glenn... now I just have to figure out how to extract it from all the other runs I've ever done
 
Wow. Cool trail. Is it a one way route, or is there concerns of coming across vehicles coming the other way? Might be stressful having to back up some sections there.
