Colorado B/S Thread

Re: The Colorado BS thread

We used to have a ranch up in that neck of the woods. They do get a touch of snow. I saw it -62F the first winter up there.

I'll be up there skiing in 10 days -- WOOT!
 
Re: The Colorado BS thread

Yeah, it was snowing pretty good up there while we were there. We stayed at Hahn's Peak Roadhouse and did our training up the road from there. Great place, I highly recommend it. The staff is awesome there.

There were areas there that the snow was so deep we had no idea if we could even get to the ground. If you stepped out if the SUSV you'd sink in to your knees, if you jumped off the thing you would sink in up to your armpits and still not hit solid ground. Snow shoes made it easy to stay on top, but they are a bunch of work. We did a lot of search and rescue scenarios having to navigate different trails in the area to find rescue dummies that were placed in different spots. Get to the "Last known GPS" coordinates and then snow shoe it in a search pattern to find the "victim". Then we would bundle it up into a sleeping bag, secure it into the litter (a special plastic one that acts like a sled in the snow), and secure it back into the SUSV. Once back at the CP (command point)the OC's (observer/controllers) would use snow mobiles to reset the lane.

This went on Tues-Thurs, we travelled there Monday and travelled back Friday. I then spent Sat and Sun bed ridden with a 102+ fever. It was good times.

My dad collected quite a few things (coins, stamps, GI Joe's and trains).

This is a good chunk of the collection, my mom is looking to get rid of most of it (i'll keep whats mine). Thing is, if this looks like "a lot", the GI Joe and stamp collections DWARFED this :D. Fun times...

Re: The Colorado BS thread

That is some good looking train stuff, should be able to make a little bit. Is there a track layout anywhere?

No, he never got to make one unfortunately.

We were military and moved frequent enough that we didn't own out own home until I was In late middle school.

There is a lot of really cool stuff there. He did HO scale, all mine is N scale.

Some of it we got in Europe which I will keep of mine and make sure his isn't sold. I always remember going to train shows with him and getting to pick out a few things for myself.

Re: The Colorado BS thread

Here is a look at what I was doing all last week.

Ahhh, snow shoes! At first glance, I was wondering why you didn't tell the other guys where the rocks are.

Yeah, snow shoes are awesome. :roflmao:

I'm actually wanting to get a pair for myself, its pretty cool going out on snow shoes and never worrying about sinking on the snow or sliding on the hard pack.
 
Re: The Colorado BS thread

Yea, snow shoeing is a lot of fun. Take some getting used to but just have to get a comfortable stride down.

Lots on CL.

1248 miles, $298.13 in gas while getting 17mpg...I'd say the old XJ did pretty good. It's good to be home too! :yelclap:

Oh ya, I forgot how much the roads suck around here. There are logging roads back in MI that were smoother!
 
Re: The Colorado BS thread

As most of you know. I am a tattooer. I figured I would share the news that both my shop and I are now sponsored/featured artist and shop on Tattoo.com. Which is a pretty big deal to me. Lol. Just wanted to share the good news with those that have supported my art work.
check it out.
I can't click the link button on my phone for some reason....
