I sent an e-mail to new members (Oct 1 2021 to current; 22 accounts) announcing this "beginner friendly" trail run. Should group size become too large, we'll split into multiple groups with an...

Gotta say - that's one nice look'n RSVP & Planned page layout :thumb:

I'm looking forward to a nice day in the woods!

PG - I'll ask the q for others - the initial climb, would folks call the more difficult portions of it beginner friendly?

I'd be up for it - though the question is on my mind.


Trails Offroad...

FS has road status pages for the different forests / different districts. I keep this URL handy for Arapaho & Roosevelt:

Devil's Canyon is in Clear Creek

I'm thinking Devil's Canyon. When does it open?

Welcome to the group!

The e-locker will be an appreciated feature - ten feet at a time.

There's no "initiation period" - as Matt commented - look at planning and see what forms up...

Highlands Ranch looks to have received 8, maybe 10, inches.

I'm curious - what are the snow totals for folks from the recent storm / weather event?

Zero in Fort Collins as of Saturday morning.

"I heard" Cheyenne was getting snow yesterday afternoon.

Matt said waypoint 41 was the turn-around point. Trails Offroad says that is "narrow canyon obstacle". The photos they have available don't look turn-around-defying.

I'd be a vote for new moon time - star gazing in a wonderful dark sky area.

This has been discussed, recently. 1) having a "newbie" trail run and having a 2) winching / recovery event. I should stir the waters on getting both formed...

FWIW - as to winch purchase -...

Fantastic photos. Interesting turn of events. I should look up info on the obstacle. Glad it was well enjoyed!

Your call.

As you're are soliciting opinions - I have a bias towards companies that are "more American" vs. companies that are more worldwide / non-American. I prefer to keep my dollars...

Welcome to the group!

Snow's melt'n and trail season is at hand.

Welcome to the group!

It's nice that family is enjoying forest trail rides as well. We'll meet one day!

Those wash-out type of conditions are where, if you have'm, I hit the lockers for if things go sideways and a wheel lifts (and forward momentum stops) - I want all planted tires to try and scratch...

That's a nice accomplishment! :thumb:


I don't think you'll find conveniently placed steps on Sherman. ;)

Do it... Do it... Do it...

A built-in "feature" of every shop of all time.

Congrats on the new digs!

C-channel or boxed frame for the 1945 Willys?

Not advocating to skirt the rules - but this vid popped up and I thought I'd toss it over:

Interesting!!

EDIT:

I was originally thinking black pipe / plumbing pipe but the first ammo can link that used copper pipe seems to be preferred. Lighter weight and probably lower cost and...

Well, those lights and the electric farm fence you connect to the underside metal of your jeep...
