Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
you assume correctly.DaveP, are you stuck in pic 3? Or did you just stop to take a pic? (Assuming the latter)
Your weather sounds like ours. Wore our Christmas decorated T-shirts all over town today. It's now 8:05pm, the sun set a couple of hours ago and it's still 54F.What is this SNOW stuff you all speak of? This was TJ driving yesterday in the CHILLY Christmas parade in Safety Harbor, FL...64 degrees!
I hear you about the cough, cough Centennial. One of the largest city incorporations in history that no one knows about. Too bad you don't live here anymore but you gotta do what you gotta do. It is amazing how hard the snow can get up high. But when you break through the crust it gets soft underneath. We have been breaking trails open in the spring for as long as I can remember. We learned that train tracking technique from our dad's. Kinda spooky looking a thousand feet down and you are right on the edge of the trail that is drifted over and pushing you to the edge.Glad you all enjoyed the Mt. Evans pictures. There's much more here Rocky Mountain Moggers - Home page
under the "trip reports" section. Just look for Mt Evans trips.
Yeah, it's tough shoveling ice and snow at up to 14k ft. Worst part is the stuff is hard enough you have to break it, then shovel it. We used picks and axes on some of it LOL. That stretch took about 3 hours to 'railroad track' (I like that description, and it certainly is required to keep the trucks on the mountain). The sloping ice is the reason that snow machines can't be used. It's thousands of feet to the bottom in most places.
The mid-Nov trip failed. Just too much snow. I don't participate since moving out of CO.
BTW Jollyroger, I lived in Littleton, cough cough Centennial, on Grant St.

Nine foot Western Heavyweight. Truck is still 24 volts so I tap off 12 volts between batteries to run the plow. Been running about 11 years. I leave on most of the mount over the summer so I lose front clearance but I'm not stump jumping with it.....
