We ventured only a little bit on a red trail, but being my second time out, and alone didn't wanna take a risk getting stuck. The mud was in certain areas, but avoidable if we wanted. A few times we drove with one set of wheels in it to make sure we got out ok, then went back and did all 4.
The big flat area when you first drive in a bit, then go left was mostly water in pits. We drove thru the water probably 4 times rinsing the truck, lol.
Spent a couple hours at Bridgeport today, had a blast! Only saw 3 or 4 other vehicles out there, one was a brand new 4Runner, looked like he got it yesterday. When we were leaving, saw 3 60's era Bronco's about to hot the trails, looked like a fun time, lot's of people around them, like a family outing.
I ended up going out to the park in Bridgeport for a couple of hours last Sunday with a Jeep group. There was a chick I work with leading the group through the trails. I was the only non-Jeep among them. It was pretty tame. We didn't do anything difficult, as there were a few beginners in the group. I did get flexy enough in a couple of spots to find out that my 42s rub on my front bumper where I had already trimmed it for the 40s. Good to know. I'll be trimming it more now. Did use the lockers on a couple of steep hills. Much like my experiences in Moab, I found that sometimes trying to crawl slowly up certain obstacles results in spinning tires, even aired down pretty far, but giving it a little more right pedal sends my truck bombing right up anything I've put in front of it so far. The Jeepers were referring to my truck as King Kong by the end of the day. LMAO! Here's some pics:
Hit me up if you want to run some trails together, or sit around a fire, or grab a bite, or have a drink, or burn one, or whatever! I should be around.
Damn brocefus. I’ll take all of the above for $500 -Alex!
Will do man. Of course you’ll have to pry Mary from the baby girl!
Mary & I plan on spending a day in Lake City in August on this years CO trip. May hit some trails, time allowing.
