Colorado Spring Creek run 9/2/06
Had a great trail run today with some of the colorado folks. It was great to see everyone again.
Spring Creek is very ... and I mean EXTREMELY ... technical. With my stock 33s and w/o rock rails, it was rough going, especially after my rear locker failed. I made it up to the rock garden thanks to a lot of rock stacking and some dam fine spotting by Alan and the others.

Re: Colorado Spring Creek run 9/2/06
Didn't get any pictures of our first obstacle. It was impassible due to extreme erosion and the steep angle of the hillside. So we got our rigs turned around and took an alternate route.
Here's Cory starting up our next major obstacle. Wheel placement along parallel ridges of rock was essential to avoid sliding down and high centering. What the picture doesn't show is the sharp turn to the (driver's) left and the next set of rocks, pits and moguls.
With some good spotting, we all made it over.

A nice spot for a break under an amazing blue sky

Always keep one eye on the weather. It changes fast
