[Fireball]

(more pics and trail info will be posted later...)
Group pic from the top of Peak 10. Great people and a great time. This is what Front Range 4x4 is all about...

[FINOCJ]

Great day and thanks to all. Hope Mosquito Pass was even better than Peak 10 for those that continued on. My official photographer (wife) was not along today so I took exactly zero pics. I will poach as many of everyone else's pics as possible, so post a lot of them. cheers all

[Tom]

It was. Just got home 10pm. More later.

[F150_UP]

[Fireball]

Very Nice !

[Fireball]

Tom made the water crossing look easy.

[Jim]

It was. Just got home 10pm. More later.

10:45pm for me (and I am DEAD TIRED - just signed on to check Jackie's run, a note here, g'night everyone). I dallied around the park for 45 minutes. When I visited the tollbooth it was un-staffed / proceed.

One plus to crossing over Rocky that later bit - 2 shooting stars. There might be "something" going on as many of the pull-outs were filled with people and cameras.

Processing 2+ hours of video now. Will be late today before I and YouTube are finished. Will post asap.

[Tom]

Cut and trimmed a few clips but basically 2 hrs of video down to less than ten minutes. Clips are 8x speed. Sorry about the ad. Only song available for this length of vid. It has the ad. Music Peace of Mind by Yonder Mountain String Band

Trying to sort out way too many pictures. :) I'm definitely an over-shooter.

Nick and Val nicked a valve stem on the descent with the switchbacks. They decided to call in the big guns to loosen up the lug nuts on the tire.

Great time everyone! Lots of fun! I'll see if I can post up some Mosquito Pass, Red Cone, and Webster pics later.

[Fireball]

I've got some pics posted. I used dropbox because the forum is compressing my pics.
I'll post a few here. You can go here to see the 38 pics I posted from the run:

Don't know why the pics aren't posting. The link to the gallery works.

I fixed the problem by switching to photobucket. Edited post above now shows pics. :)

Thanks for this, I really want to get up there!

[Diamond_D]

Had a great time on my first run with this group. Thanks to everyone for the friendly welcome, and the assistance swapping out the spare! Just a few photos, since the others have covered it so well. Looking forward to the next one!

Thread from the dead.

I'll soon visit family who has been working in Breckenridge so I'd better get these photos processed. I had not, until tonight, edited the photos from the day (I am WAY behind on MANY trips - Moab and SW Colo included).
