Colorado Fun (1 Viewer)

Had enough of work, took a week off and ran around San Juan/Rio Grande NF last week.
Some fun solo wheeling above Durango, Pagosa, and near Wolf Creek, plus a day chasing an 80 around silverton roads. Clearing wind falls is a whole lot more fun than the gym.

Also a test run for my new wore out tow rig

Couple of crossings... run off is going strong

A lot deeper down there than it looks

Trees in front, trees behind...

Snow drift stuck... Superwinch FTW

My buddy Mark... He works for San Juan NF, wanted to see conditions first hand. He skied a bunch of the slopes around Engineer.
There's a pretty big land slide on Engineer, sorry no pics

Just curious why you towed the Toy pickup instead of just driving it up there? It doesn't look like such a hardcore, built rig that it can't cruise to CO on its own.

Legit question
Largely to test the tow pig with something I could drive home with if needed (the Dodge is still somewhat of an unknown quantity in 90+ degree heat), and the tranny is getting rough on the pickup so good to keep a few miles off it where i can.
Also if I broke the pickup I could tow it back instead of having to field fix something up there.
