Have fun and post pics.

Do you have a trail guide book? If not, you need these depending on where you're going. Both are by Charles Wells at funtreks.com,
Guide to Colorado Backroads & 4WD Trails (3rd Edition), South of I-70

Guide to Northern Colorado Backroads & 4WD Trails (3rd Edition), North of I-70
Also, check out traildamage.com, the bushducks.com high country pass page, and staythetrail.org.

Heading to Lake City for a week Friday also. Driving a Mango Rubicon. Perhaps we'll pass.

Looking forward to compare this one to my old TJ. Going to be doing Stony Pass, Mineral Creek, Engineers and Cinnamon Monday. Maybe Imogene and Black Bear on Wednesday.
