Anyone else? The weather's supposed to be excellent!

 

[Hoosier Daddy]

Anybody mind if I tag along as a guest in my 200 series?

 

[COS80]

Of course not!

 

[Hoosier Daddy]

All right, see y'all in the morning.

Seep Springs was open and that's where we - TK470, Hoosier Daddy, and myself - spent the first half of the day. I led the pack from COTrex and seemed to have somehow followed the same route we took 2 or 3 years ago, as we ended up in exactly the same place for our lunch break as back then. After lunch, we went through the Red Rocks park (or whatever it's called), and then did the Bank. That was a lot of fun! We happened upon a Jeep club with 6-8 rigs at an extremely fortunate part of the trail, where were all able to pull onto a short side spur and let them by. There's one downhill 90 degree turn that was particularly unnerving, and Tim, evidently, had an even bigger moment that that of his infamous Pivot... and nobody got video again.

After the Bank, we ran Skyline Drive, and then headed home. Another great day with CLC!

PS: thanks for taking pictures, Hoosier Daddy! Since I was navigating, I only took the phone off the mount once, and the video was worthless.

Thank you gents for a fun day on the trails! It was great to have you Hoosier Daddy along for the ride today, and thank you for the great pictures. Thank you COS80 for the great leadership today and the trail report. I also didn’t take any pictures worth anything.

We never did find that rock arch. That was disappointing.

Very true. Red Canyon Park was pretty darn beautiful though. Maybe one of our other members can chime in on where the rock arch is.

 

[Hoosier Daddy]

Great weather, excellent trail leader, some annoyed cows, and a guest appearance by Bocephus!
