September POTM - FJ55TLC

[shmukster]

Is that the water tank at Woodstock?

 

[fj55tlc]

Yes, the restored one closer to the Alpine Tunnel. Here is the lower one closer to Pitkin:

Flares new???

 

[shmukster]

Has the grade to the west portal been opened? Has the rock wall been repaired?

 

[fj55tlc]

Yes. Flinging mud 20 feet high in South Dakota was enough for me to try and come up with a solution. I will eventually install them on the rear also. I really do not like mud.

Has the grade to the west portal been opened? Has the rock wall been repaired?

Not open and I was unable to get close enough to the Palisades to look at the wall, but I doubt it. Tomichi is also still closed due to rock slide just past the Brittle Silver Basin Mine. I was hoping to at least drive the shelf to the summit, but had to turn back. Did see a moose there though.

Saw these four Mountain Goats at the Hancock Pass summit.

Thanks for the info. The last time we did Tomichi it was really sketchy at one point on the east side where a lot of the trail had slid away and the available roadway was NARROW!!!!!

 

[fj55tlc]

Yes, very narrow. Last time we did last time, my wife stopped taking pictures on that part of the pass. She was nervous.

Took the guys from work adventuring. Doing what the cruiser does best.

Looks like you went further S?

 

[fj55tlc]

Yes, Tincup pass, Napoleon pass, Cumberland pass, and back over Hancock pass. Tomichi pass and the Alpine Tunnel road are still closed by rock slides.

 

[shmukster]

Where's Napoleon Pass? Never was on that one.

 

[fj55tlc]

Napoleon pass runs parallel to the north side of Cumberland pass. It's pretty rough and narrow between the trees. I very much enjoyed it. It goes past the Gold Cup Mine that has some structures left standing. I have the video footage and will be releasing a YouTube video on it in the near(ish) future.

 

[Gordobe]

You have such incredible access to awesome places

[RUSH55]

Great vid and tune as usual. Should have made a video of myself rocking out during the last few minutes!

We had a Toyota four wheel drive show at work today. Of course the fj55's presents was requested.

I was given the number zero for the show. I don't know what that means.
