I can`t make it now, not unless my 1990 excab toy pu stock with 32" can make it with some winch help. Didn`t get the blazer done in time. the good news is, I`am going back to toyotas for my wheeler, building up my toyota truck for wheelin, or throwing my dana 60,70 under a super charged tacoma.

Absolutely plenty of parking for your trailers at the various campsites near the entrance. There is one larger campsite that I would like to snag for our group which is on the west side of the road very near the entrance. You never know if these sites will already be taken so if anyone gets there first just scout out a nice big area for everyone to camp. There is like 9 miles worth of dirt road until the trail head starts and along this entire stretch of road there are huge open areas for parking and camp sites.

Anyone have a map of the area with campsites marked out? We could try to call someone down there perhaps??

my colorado trail book shows a forest service camp ground right off the main road.
also right past camp hale there is camping.
i'm going up friday to make sure we get a site somewhere.

i think we need to pick a CB channel to get ahold of each other..
as long as you got a CB or hand held
 
I hope everyone got back safely. We all had a blast at Holy Cross. Thanks guys for making this years run so fun! I have posted all my pics and just the first video so far....more to follow.

I took Jason and Tyson this year. The lake up at the top was the best part of the whole day for these guys! :bounce2:

Thanks again guys! Post up your pics or send them to me and I'll get em up there.
 
Sorry I had to take off in the morning, Erin was in bad shape and I had to get her home :frown: Oh well, let me know next run your going to do! 21 road? billings canyon?! sweet. Ran carnage yesterday to satisfy my fix. I went with a bunch of competition buggies. It was funny that I took every line they took except centerline and have half the $ in my entire truck than they have in a front axle alone. Very impressive machines I will not deny.

Man I’m jealous I was up there and had to take off
