cant say that doing anything at 60 rather than 30 sounds better to me, sorry.

Any suggestions?
Pagosa area is going to give you access to some sweet terrain and high alpine lakes. You could also look into taking the Durango-Silverton train halfway in and going for your hike.
I ended up doing allot of mountain biking on the front range, stayed on a cabin in Grand Lake, went canoeing and did a two night backpacking trip in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Not as cool as my usual trips to Colorado, but it was a nice last minute trip.
Sweet...what trails did you ride?
Are you a big mountain biker? I used to BMX race in High school and hadn't ridden in years. I had a blast and am really wanting to get into it.Quote:

I had never spent any time that far east. Most of my time in Colorado has been spent around ski resorts, the Arkansas River Valley and Ouray. The quality of Jeeps, Toyota's, etc. is much more impressive and common than those in Texas. You can tell that most modified 4x4's are really for function, where as the average rig in Texas seems to be for aesthetics. Just in her aunts neighborhood there were loads of rigs. Yota on 35"s, FJ on 35"s, XJ on 35"s, and around a dozen modified Tjs and JKs with 33"-37"s. Even a beast of a TJ with tons, SBC, 40"s, and a large stretch.
In the Rocky Mountain National Park we hiked about 10 miles in on the North Inlet trail. Camped, and did a couple of day hikes up to several water falls and alpine lakes. Was not as extreme as hiking 14ers like I have previously, but was very beautiful. Saw at least a dozen Moose, a few deer and many elk.
I'll throw up a couple of pictures soon.
wouldn't say I'm a big mtber but just got a bike after being out of the game for a while. Mostly ride around Buffalo Creek but have ridden Green Mtn, White Ranch, Hall Ranch, Centennial Cone and years ago most of the trails farther north.
Don't worry we've got our fair share of mallcrawlers too :D
depending on money im down to go may have a open spot on the gn
how are the other states with all the cdl stuff? I dont mind hauling our gn with two rigs, but didnt know how bad or good of an idea it is......
not sure if there's another of these on the forseeable horizon...Quote:

Pretty much, if you have a gross of 26,000lbs or more, you 'need' a cdl. The 'need' part is pretty much only if you get stopped. That is for you to decide if you want to risk or not.

hmmm im pretty close to my "class b exempt" would that be of any help if I finished it?
I am going to really try and make it out to the Rubicon next year. Just have a feeling I might not always have that opportunity, so I should try to make it while I can.Quote:

Not if you're getting it to drive for busops. Those have a 'P' endorsement and, from what I understand, it's only for vehicles that carry 24(?) or more passengers.Quote:

took my truck to Moab a couple years back. Not as fun with a stock truck. Bronco would have been a blast, but I would have had to budget two weeks to enjoy it fully. In the next couple years, I hope to haul the Bronco out to the RubiconQuote:

Not starting out good. I am in San Antonio, waiting on buddy from Houston. He is broke down in Seguin. 01 Tahoe. I think it's the fuel pump. He says no whine from tank like typical GM. 150k on OE pump. Started sputtering up inclines, then pulled over, then died, now won't start. Has 1/4 tank and just added 4 more gallons, still no start. Advance has one for $250, but want to make sure that the problem before we buy. Tow truck bringin it to Jeremiahs house. Wife will not be pleased.
if you need help i am just down the road... call me
mileage/symptoms sound right. $250 and 4 hrs and you're back in business. Good luck!
2.5 hrs biotch. purrs like a kitten.
:eek: Is that a whole sending unit?Quote:

On Thurdsay night, we were all to meet up in San Antonio. Buddies 01 Tahoe breaks down on I-10 somewhere just east of SA. He gets it towed to Jeremiah's house where we commence to change the fuel pump out. We were really only 75% sure that was the problem, but luckily we were right. We ended up leaving SA around 6am, and getting to a Cracker Barrel in Kerrville for some breakfast.
Made it to Pagosa where we stayed the night. Had a few beers between Santa Fe and Pagosa. This was not a good idea, as I would find out the next morning.
Wake up to a headache and nausea. I guess the elevation change and and a sixer did not make good bedfellows. Went to the grocery store and bought and ****ton of food. Headed up to Silverton.
We ended up camping for a 5 nights at a great little campsite on Engineer, about 20minutes in from the turnoff of 550. We were a couple hundred yards from the fork that leads to PK. It was my truck, a Tahoe with a real rear locker, and an XJ on 33s.

We did PK I think the next day. I winched up the hard section, as did both the XJ and Tahoe. There were alot of Yotas out there including this sweet FJ...
http://images5b.snapfish.com/2323232...%3B47337nu0mrj
There is really nothing difficult about PK, except for the one small climb. Most of the Yotas did it. ONe jackhole from Arizona in a fully built TJ buggyon 40s and tons went up and down it and then got all grumpy when people got in his way. Seriously bro, calm down, my 19' pickup came up it.
Next day we did Imogene. We got almost to the top of the OUray side and decided to do a little repelling. We hooked a line up to the front of the XJ, and all 6 of us backed up over the edge and went down a good 50'. Never had done that before, and it was a rush, especially being that high up.
As we were about to continue on, the sounds of a little 22R hitting the rev limit could be heard coming up the trail. It eventually died and we backed down to pull him up to level ground. It wasn't getting fuel, so we swapped on a new pump that he had. We did this for him for some reason. That didnt work. Eventually he asked me to pull his dead ass to Telluride. This still included a good mile long up hill section of the Ouray side. Somehow the old weak non smoking gasser got that bitch over the pass, all the way into Telluride, and eventually onto the gawdamn trailer. It was badass I promise. All I got was $50 but I was able to helpout a fellow wheeler.
While on the trails, I saw a significant amount of Chevy/Geo Trackers. These things were everywhere and some looked pretty cool. Most were still IFS, had 32s, small lifts, winches. One had a D44/9" combo, running some 33" Nittos. Everyone was driven by older people. Pretty cool little rigs. Saw alot of FJ80s, FJ Cruisers, a plethora of TJs/JKs, and a surprising amount of EBs.
Did the Alpine Loop, California, Cinnamon, and Corkscrew, went to the Hot Springs in Ouray and in Pagosa, jumped into near freezing waters at the waterfall near our campsite, talked **** to some Telluridians, learned about the terms "bro-bra" and "gayper", met some new friends, and enjoyed generally not being in Texas heat.:beer:
Made it from Pagosa to SA in 13 hrs. Made it to Bryan 2.5 hrs later. Truck needs a new skidplate and a few other minor issues that get fixed Wednesday. Nothing major.
