    Default Kingston Peak 9-12



    So I had the day off of work and decided to go to Kingston Peak with my manager Brian.
    On the way back down we decided to mess around in the mud pits....where we later met Kubo and his friend in a 4runner. Completely accidental meeting.

    The 5th and 6th pictures were of a fire we saw while up there. I'm not sure if it's the Boulder fire or the newer fire near Lyons/Loveland.

    Which is a good reason to post up trail runs.

    I was in my Outback, just to clarify But yeah, that was pretty random to run into each other like that I've got a bunch of pics and some video, will report later. We've caked both our rigs at the "puddles" and have also managed to get to Alice in one piece (more or less, plastics don't count ). Man, I wish I've had a turbo for that climb, would have been a breeze. With the altitude, my AT fluid started warming up, and combined with the NA motor, it was barely going up the steep sections at 1600-1800 RPM's (had no problems stopping and going again, just slow). It was fun though, made me appreciate the car that much more, since it made it

    I did post on Friday about my intentions of going...

    Looks like we are exact opposites.
