First real off-roading with VX, had a blast!

Slaughterhouse Gulch? Sounds like more of a horror movie than a trail. Should we be scared?

Where is it and how far?

[Locomigo]

~ 25 miles from C-470/US-285

I'm having trouble visualizing where this is.

[Locomigo]

Conifer area.

[Tonka]

Hey Keith!
I was just wondering. Your rig is pretty built. How hard is the trail you where thinking of? Could little old stock me do ok or should i plan to ride shotgun? I'm a good spotter. I take the trail rating of 5 is about average? If that's accurate then i am up for the challange! That's a really cool site too!

Also, time and place to meet?
Anyone else up for it?

[Locomigo]

5 is relatively mild.... not toobad, I will see ifn I cant paraphrase and sumize what Charles Wells says in his book when I get home later.

you should do just fine, perfectly acceptable for a stocker and enough to play on for me.. more of a shakedown test run for the new teralows... scheduled for mid week next week.

Probably at the fort. Morrison exit from 285, first one southwest of C-470... probably around 9-10AM ish...

We will determine that shortly. let's get past THIS weekend first.

[Tonka]

Sounds good. I will wait to hear from you on the details.

What's THIS weekend?
In-laws in town or something?

[Locomigo]

Sons friends, Elitches and MODDIN!

[Locomigo]

Okay, very preliminary... but here goes.

Slaughterhouse Gulch

Meet 9AM at the Fort on Saturday 5/3

Short trail, shouldn't be an all day affair, but make sure you bring water, and some food.

303-478-7568

[Tonka]

I am there!
Is anyone from Trailseekers going?

[Locomigo]

possibly.. but things come together last minute for the norm... typically, whomever shows up, we ride with.

[Tonka]

OK,
So Randy and Rob who didn't come today missed out on some good fun! I just wanted to say thank you to Keith who quickly threw together this day trip. Just wished the trail could have lasted all day! Had a blast and we must do this again soon!

No worries... where's the pics?!!??!!!!!

What Alan DIDN'T tell you... Is that he had to pull the mighty Locomigo up the ice ledge at the stream crossing... I caught hell for that one I tell ya. Thanks Alan. Totally my fault though, stopped halfway through it instead of just waiting...

And THEN, the excitement... found a tank trap, dropped in, water halfway up the hood before leveling out to ~ mid door level, steep descent. Well I toasted the alternator, and it was a hurried trip off the trail and back to Denver with a stop every 5 miles or so to recharge the battery for 3-5 minutes...

Well after about 2 hours to remove, and reinstall with an hour break in between, it was fixed... and a $60 bill for the part, and an AWESOME lady to haul some major booty to go get it, and bring it down to us...

BTW, www.centralforeign.com is where I got it from.

The TeraLows ROCK, and whine like a bad dog...

All in all, it was a good day. Even though I was late!

Hey Tonka, try getting the Anthrax shots. Then we will see just how much your brain can't absorb. I have had 6 Anthrax shots and along with a lot of other people it effected our short term memory and has other side effects the military denies and will not admit to. But, they come out and say the shot they gave us was unfit for human consumption, sorry. What a bunch of dinks.
Anyways, good luck in school
