Fourth Annual Colorado Jeep-CJ Trail Report

[oldjeeplady]

Friday we went to Eureka Gulch. Posi rode with us again. It was so much fun talking with him these days. He really knows alot about CJ's and we got many new ideas for our build.

We had such a super group for this trip and it was sad to say goodbye. The weather did not always cooperate, but everyone was flexible about where we went and that really added to the joy of this trip.















Good pic of Curt at the mine entrance

I had a couple hours to kill before my flight so I hung out with the engineering students from UNM. They build their own cars and race them in the schools parking lot every Saturday.

We had driven all to way to North Platte, NE for Friday night. We drove all day Saturday and got home at about 10:15 PM CDT.

Here is a picture of us loaded at Ouray before we left on Friday.



We had a blast on this trip. I really think Curt is hooked and we will be working hard to finish our CJ5 build so we can come back to this magical place.

But you don't "have" to have your CJ done to have a great time here even if you only have a stock "other" 4x4 there are plenty of trails to ride.....

I may not have been posting all the while this report was being made, but I was sitting right behind the wife all the while. Here is my greatest joy (or at least relief) of the entire trip. The only damage to our 2000 blue oval, nearly factory stock Explorer was a flattened tail pipe from going down a rather steep rock outcrop! Hopefully, we will soon be able to show our Explorer our appreciation by retireing it from off roading, and finishing our 59 CJ5 .

Thanks everyone for some great pics! With that area being so beautiful, I cant imagine not being able to convince Dave and Koda down the road to come out and lead another trail ride

He got a %100 increase in participation by making this the last one, I can see a trend here.

Yea, I saw that on colorado4x4.org.

And THAT'S why I could never do BBear. The only luck I have is bad luck so I wouldn't stop at 3 rolls.

the switch backs were a walk in the park. the incline on the steps combined with an off camber right turn made my butt want to suck seat vinyl.

That helps me appreciate that the CJ2a track is about 14 inches narrower than a JK's.
