yup at it again...:D
The :princess: had to head back on Sat. so we decided to get out one more time. Red Cone looked like a good semi-close trail. We got there much later that i would have liked but luckily we really didn't run into any weather. just overcast the whole time. My SO doesn't usually drive on the trail so i figured i'd toss her the keys this time. She drove about 1/2 way up, until there was more clutch work required. She did great for not driving a standard tranny very often. She did manage to hang my diff opps!:o no biggie little jockeying around and we continued on. Once we got up and over Red Cone and were heading down Webster we turned off on Peru Creek, just past Montezuma. Peru led to Cinnamon Gulch which goes up to the Pennsylvania Mine. We checked it out for a good couple hours before we headed back down to Peru and took it all the way to the gate. Very good scenery and easy trails made for a nice relaxing day.
