Back from a relaxing day of wheeling

[hvac man]

Hey guys I just got home from wheeling one of the local trails here. I went out with mrboyle and we had a great time just driving around in the woods. Altough the trail is not that difficult it is still fun with optional things to play around on. I can think of one that I should of went around but my bad side said do it and I ended up with about 4" of water inside of my X, oh well The trails here are mainly just scenic so it is great to get out and see nature the way most people can only dream about. I will let mrboyle chime in tell his version

What a day. The trail wasn't that bad, but it was just hard enough to be fun. The only down fall was the mosquitoes (sp?). I'm glad Hvac was leading because I was thinking of going in that same hole he got stuck in. It was DEEP Only real carnage was my t-case skid plate. It now matches the shape of the tranny crossmember. Here's a link to my pics: http://public.fotki.com/mrboyle/battlement_mesa/

Clint,
I figured out what that diff guard we found came from. It was off one of the Land Rovers. Its made by Safari-Guard.

gotta love sinking your truck in the mud. sounds like its time to pull out the carpet and herculine the floor.

 

[hvac man]

Doug this is my wife's daily driver and I am in the middle of building a trail truck so that whole carpet and herc thing is not an option Mike I don't think those rovers went up that rock garden...but you never know

 

[Doug]

You sunk your wife's DD? how much crap did you get for that?

 

[hvac man]

She loved every min. of it She is into wheeling and camping so this is just another weekend for us. I just have to be carefull because she refers to her X as bling bling It is pretty nice for a 93' low miles too.

K, battlement mesa, any other suggestions

hey hvac and boyle... I posted awhile back on another thread about western CO. I'm headed out to the Montrose area in 4 days and counting. Any "must do" trails? I've got a jacked 2K ranger, so the waterfall crawl is out, but I'm open to suggestions. Also, best campin' area?

Hey Klaws, This is kind of funny because I am going to be in denver this weekend, looks like were trading towns
I don't know how you are set up but most of the stuff I know of in montrose is for the highly modified. I would say you could do Battlement but it is about 2.5 hrs from montrose. I would look into doing Black bear pass or something like that. I know there is a thread in the trail run section that Boyle had posted on it. You should talk to mrboyle because he used to live near montrose. How long are you staying?
