A couple of photos from a run last week with a group from toyota-4runner.org to the Bonazna Off Highway Vehicle Tour in Colorado

Heading down the trail

Doozi on the trail

Narrow shelf road, what the photo doesn't show is the rock outcropping into the trail

Stop for a break along 'Toll Road' to take in the view

Lunch stop up one of the old mines

Old mine sites in the area

Coming up the trail we ran into someones trailer that they made out of an old Dodge van

I wonder what triple 'A' thought of this

The rainstorms going on around us

Final group shot

The two things I learned on this trip is that vsc/trac control sucks and the Wilson 'Lil' will mag mount cb antenna can take a beating.

Work wise that's the question. I'll either stay in Colorado Springs to help out on (2) other projects once the one I'm on is done and then head back to Utah or back to Utah once the project is done or somewhere else. The company that I work is kind of bad about giving you the details.

Trail wise I got (3) days off next week and I'm planning to hit up a few trails (2) of which will take me up to 14,000 ft.

I know Utah has Moab, but I'm starting to think Colorado might be in better shape for sheer number and variety of trails.
