Colorado Krew Hangout

I’ll let you all know, I magically made it beyond my block to the park for my garage rat. She loves to come steal all my sockets. I can tell, she’s a Jeep lady.

A group ran Holy Cross today. A very long day. Took a few photos. We did see a Toyota break both front axles, a jk break both front axle ujoints, a JL bend a tie rod, a drunk UTV rollover with possible broken arm, and a snapped Dana 35 axle shaft. Our group came away unscathed. There were a lot of people that should have never been on the trail

Seems like you guys run a trail every weekend! This post also made me realize I’ve done pretty much nothing to my Jeep since last August besides fix what I broke on my Colorado trip 🙁

We try!

What did you break last year?

Nothing that I couldn’t drive home with, so not really any breakage. Heater core, diff covers, slightly bent a control arm mount somehow, and then a few small things. Most of the “breakage” just came from driving 2000 miles in a few days.

Can’t wait until I dial in my issues, sounds like a fun day!
 
Oh man, that looks really cool. It's hard to tell the perspective, but most look to be pretty big?

The blue swimmer was probably 20-25'. Some of the replica's of statues were probably a 1/3 of the actual size. And some of the human exhibits were close to actual size.
 
My father in law wants to fish Jefferson Lake in peace and quiet this weekend. I’m thinking i might accompany him up there and hit a trail or two.

Is Handcart Gulch on the south side of Webster Pass passable? I can’t find current trail info but some reports are not encouraging

@jjvw and I were on a number of trails up in that area a couple weekends ago. Everything was open as far as I could tell minus Webster Pass itself. The shelf road headed south towards CR60 was still blocked with sizeable snow drifts.

That's a really nice photo. I can only imagine how much nicer it looked in person.
