Howdy neighbor. I am also in Loveland. I am planning a get together at my place for bbq in the near future if you are interested.

Skids and recovery points coupled with recovery equipment first. For overlanding, flex is overrated. Clearance is nice but skids and attention to line make up for a lot.

If you head this way, check in. I am on the way to RMNP.

If it is open, do Fall River Road. Can be run in any higher clearance vehicle. If you want something more challenging, try Coney Flats via Camp Dick. With the current state of the fires, I would be surprised if RMNP is even open by then.

Haven't heard of green stamps in a few years.

The most uncommon thing in all the world is common sense.

I just had two knees replaced.

Haven't seen the 7 gallon buckets, where do you snag one? Do they have the same size lid?

Will be there. What comms are people running? I like to take lots of pictures along the way, having been a professional photographer, but with the smoke, the vistas may be lacking. Hopefully we will see the mountain goats.

I got tired of the portapotty and went with the 5 gallon bucket with the toilet seat top you can buy. I carry the disposable bags with the gel. It is smaller, cheaper, easier to pack and works very well. Easy to clean...tie up the bag, and it doesn't ever leak. I pack the TP and bags inside...

I'm baaaack. What about this weekend?

I've been "overlanding" for over 50 years. 99% has been alone or with my wife riding shotgun. I grew up in the mountains of Colorado on a ranch in the mountains. Rules: Always have someone who knows when you are supposed to be back and check in upon returning. Try to let someone know where...

I have the handicapped/golden age passport and it has never been accepted at any place other than a National Park for well over 10 years.

Especially if you have females along, check out Mousies Coffee/Chocolatier in Ouray. They roast their own coffee daily and they make some of the finest chocolates anywhere. Get a "Scrap" cookie while there. They are huge and contain all the variations of chocolate scraps they had left over...

Remember, disconnecting the battery will not necessarily kill the engine. If the alternator is working, you will keep running. I have a hidden disconnect on my fuel pump. It will start, run for a few seconds then die. The question is really, why do you want a kill switch? (1) to kill the...

You are overthinking this. Just use common sense picking a line. I have led dozens of bone stock Cherokee XJ's over it as well as Black Bear.

Nothing like watching a video with ads slapped across it every 15 seconds.

Here in Colorado and in Utah, once in the back country, they do little or no good. You pretty much need to have line of sight to a tower and once in the hills/mountains, you rarely have that. If you want emergency communications, get a SPOT or the equivalent satellite communicator. The nicer...

Colorado just issued a state wide open fire band.

WTF...slaves need jobs too. :grinning:
