Our summer camping trip is going to be in this area. I’m going to try as hard as possible to get this trail done. I can’t wait
 

I know a grandma like that! 😍
My MIL is 86 years old and talks like that. And carries a shank too.
She was pissed off when she was jonesing for one of my 9mm's and I told her that I couldn't sell it to her because she couldn't rack the slide. She really couldn't. So, .38 bulldog snubby goes with her. She probably can't hit a barn door from 5 ft, but the audacity should scare people enough.

We did quite a bit of old mines reclamation work up in that country back in the day. Beautiful, enjoy, but do not be this guy!



Thank you,

Black Bear?
Yep. I’m not 100% sure my mom or wife will be down for Black Bear but I’m going to work any magic I have. If they’re a hard no, we’ll do Imogene pass. And if all of my magic works and the stars align and any other good juju intervenes I’m going to talk them into Black Bear to Telluride then Imogene back to Ouray on the same day

Imogene was one of the many areas we worked. Also up the hill in Tomboy. At the old Sporting House (37.941429, -107.771698) we cabled back the building, it was getting a little rickety, and dropped a Cat 436 on a winch line over the downhill side of the road. Dug a trench down the slide rock slope to the next road access, 600 ft or so if my feeble mind remembers correctly, dropped off the hoe and pulled a 16" HDPE line in to act as a drain for some uphill workings. Sent the hook back and tied on to the hoe again, pulled it to the top and covered the trench on the way back down. Then we took our toys and went home. Fun job.

Enjoy your trip. Depending on timing there is, or was, a runoff creek that falls onto the Imogene road from about 30' up, it will get you wet as you drive thru it.

Thank you,

Late July. Shhhh….don’t let my wife or mother hear about this creek. That will spoil some of the fun

Black Bear Pass looking down on Telluride. It isn't as bad as it is made out to be, lots of loose shale with no guard rail. LOL, The wrecks happen with pilgrims who don't know how to drive and lose their shit. Last time we rode it, had an issue that my rig kept dying, so with no power steering and only manual brakes we hitched front and back to other rigs. Got to the bottom and found that the distributor hold down bolt was lose and screwed the timing up enough it wouldn't run.

That’s what I’ve gathered from a bunch of trail stories and gootube videos. I’ve seen videos of a full size Ram power wagon and a fucking bulldozer go down so I think my Armada will be just fine

Formula for calculating the Coriolis Effect in the Northern hemisphere?
It's the standard calculation for the number of squares of toilet paper needed based on the force of push and length of time between pinch off. It says it in the equation: LOG.

"PI" for diameter calc.
d and d+ for deuce and big deuce
log for log length
cos = cosign for strain factor.
exp= Taco Bell exponential turd/shmear factor (hugely important - increases paper needed)
