Re: Colorado Spring Creek run 9/2/06
At this point my batteries died and I didn't get any more pics. Hopefully the other guys will add their pics to the thread.
The trail from here on up was very rocky, with lots of loose, soccer to basketball sized rocks, growing to the size of tires and small cars as we neared the last obstacle, the "triple bypass" ... at least that's what I'm calling the rock garden.
Giant boulders tumbled down the main trails, which were obviously home to fast and furious flash floods. The bypasses were no better. They were all deeply rutted and blocked with boulders, trees and twisted roots. Alan was leading, and we tried everything to get him up the trails, stacking rocks, trying any possible line and even squeezing between the trees. But nothing worked.

Re: Colorado Spring Creek run 9/2/06
Meanwhile, a toyota rock buggy hopped up the trail like a mountain goat, flying right over the stuff we were hung up on. They made it to the top, but broke an axle in the process and had to limp back down. Behind us, a group of jeeps had their own trail damage - a broken motor mount and a pierced oil filter.
By this time, it was 4:30. We had been on the trail for about 6 hours and clouds were moving in from the east. We turned back. As the clouds swallowed us up, the temperature dropped from 62 to 41F. Luckily it didn't rain or we would have been in a world of hurt.

Re: Colorado Spring Creek run 9/2/06
As we dropped under the clouds, I tried my camera one more time and got one last picture of I-70 west toward Georgetown.
(Edit: US40 splits off here going to Winter Park. It's the scenic route to Utah)
We made it back down without any problems and then drove down to Idaho Springs for dinner at BeauJo's pizza.
All in all, a great day!
