These take for flippin' ever to upload since I do not scale them down. So I will post 5 at a time.
Wife was in charge of the camera and it was her first trip into the mountains since moving here. So I am posting about 15% of what she took. Let's call it the highlight real.
Heading to Idaho Springs from Golden.
Meeting up at the Ranger station. Airing down and disconnecting sway bars.

On the trail, fantastic weather.
There was no shortage of ATVs, but these were the only two wheel toys we ran into.
Clearing some trail obstruction. This little bike chain saw made quick work of it.

I was pretty disappointed with the turn-out, but we had a great time all the same. I think we spent the better part of an hour at an illegal campsite picking up all of the trash the scuzzballs left behind.
Mike, PM your email address and I will send you a hi res of you and Liz at the overlook.

Had a great time! Looking forward to the next one.
PM sent.
Also, http://www.countycomm.com/survivalchainsaw.html is the hand chainsaw I had with me. I bought it a couple months ago after watching a video of a guy cutting through a pallet in a few seconds and thought, "for $20, why not?" It made quick (<30 seconds) of a 4 inch log with relatively little effort. I'm keeping it in the Jeep toolbox from now on.

Here is an Amazon link to that nice little saw. Comes with a fire starter as well.

Going up Cascade Creek
A little tippy.
ATVs just go around.
Life at 10,000 feet.
Meadow at the summit.
Oops.
"The ditch"
A little dug out in spots.

Dang we are neighbors man.
What size tires you running on it?
Looks awesome guys, need to get back into the grove and go up with you guys when you do these trail cleanups/runs.
I "finally" took the new WJ up and got her dusty offroad at Mammoth Gulch just to test her out after the minor lift and tires.
I will keep an eye out for upcoming trail schedules.

Yes, you should! :twak:
Since BlacknBlue_XJ made recent changes to his Jeep, I had him follow me. Remembering our trip up Middle Saint Vrain, I picked lines I knew his Jeep could take. So, in a way, my ol' pal Skully was there too. :cheers:
