A nice spot for a break under an amazing blue sky

Always keep one eye on the weather. It changes fast

We had a series of tight switchbacks, and the H3's tight turning radius came in really handy. But a couple were so tight even Tim and I had to back up for a second pass.

Rapid elevation gains gave us this view of Georgetown and the lake (elev 8500). We started the trail at I-70 at about 8000 ft and it's already far below us.

Re: Colorado Spring Creek run 9/2/06
We passed one turnoff that went straight up through a boulder and mogul field but figured there was no way it was the main trail.
oops, all 5 of our rigs had to turn around at the dead end. Cory and I parked straight up the hill. Alec backed up to an old pump or generator. Tim squeezed in front of him and Alan had juuuuust enough room to turn around and lead us back to the turnoff.

Re: Colorado Spring Creek run 9/2/06
I hate switchbacks. On the wheeling event that I flipped the H2 on, there were switchbacks that were so tight that it took a nine-point turn to get around. You could easily reach out and touch hands with someone on the other side, if they weren't higher or lower than you. The grades were ridiculous. I wanted someone to take pictures, but everyone was too busy scraping out their underwear. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun!Quote:
