- Colorado Springs, CO
It was just myself, Mike(Hypoid), and Rich(DutchVW). We met at the Ranger Station, and waited a bit for the Ranger responsible. Nice guy. Signed waivers, since we were considered unpaid employees by volunteering. My jeep pulled it's usual tricks. Ran a little warmer than it did before the waterpump install, needs another burp or two. The weird thing was when I pulled off the highway, the clutch didn't work. Master cylinder was a little low, but plenty of fluid. I added a bit of brake fluid, and it worked fine after sitting for awhile, and no issues on the way, except getting warmer than I like leaving that hothouse Denver. I rode with Mike on the trail and filled out the paperwork the Forest Service wants. Number of vehicles, ATV's, motorcycles, Mt. Bikes, signs that need fixing with GPS coordinates, off trail violations(just a couple of motorcyclists) and more.
There was a bunch of people up there, but not too many issues traveling the trail. I counted 45 vehicles, 20 some ATV's, bunch of motorcycles, and one Mt. bike. Less than ten instances of littering, and pretty minor. Less than a trash bag full. It's really apparent that people have realized if we don't mend our ways and take care of the forests, vehicles will be banned. The trail was really clean.
Airing down, and somewhat confused on where we were. Lot's of development and roads on the way to the trail.
Ratchet straps don't stay tight on bumpy roads.
Start of trail. I should have brought club stickers to put on the adopt a trail sign.
Starts close to tree line.
Loch something below the trail
Lots of flowers.
Lots of scenery.
