    If only you had had a VX you might not have gotten stuck :P
    Just kidding. Glad you guys made it out safe. Now buy a winch, and some MT tires.

    I would like to take an extra week and wheel through the Rockies either going to or coming from Moab, next year. Anyone interested, LMK and we'll start to plan.

    SCZ...it is always good to have a 2nd vehicle no matter how easy the trail is. Anything can happen when your in the middle of nowhere.

    Agreed. The great thing about a vehicle like the VX is it can get you places no one else can get to. The bad thing is that it can leave you stranded where no one else can get to you.

    I would love to get a small group from here out to somewhere in the CO mountains before the snow hits. It has to be a weekend though for me. I have at least one 4-wheeling book lying around somewhere...I should dig it up. Didn't need it so much with the Mazda sedan >.<

    Too late, snowing in the mountains now. LOL

    Stupid on call for work, I need to get at least a little wheeling in before trails close again. Hardly done any wheeling this summer.

    Looks like this Sunday will be nice if anyone wants to try something then. Maybe something up around Georgetown/Idaho Springs? I recall doing some close but fun trails up there in my 4Runner. Or any other suggestions.

    I might be able to meet up on Sunday but I won't know for sure until Saturday. I ordered new tires from Discount Tires & I'm patiently waiting their arrival (hopefully today). I will keep you updated.

    Ok cool. Anyone who wants to find a trail Sunday send me a PM on Saturday and we'll set up a time and place to meet and a trail to try. If it doesn't happen it doesn't happen.

    I was looking at some websites, would love to do something like Black Bear Pass on the way back from Moab, but it looks like there is no chance it will be open in May. Are there any cool, scenic trails that are open in late May? I haven't done any Rockies wheeling and definitely want to...
