A fellow TD poster (crazyLSUfan) and myself packed up my Jeep and took a trip up to the Battlement Reservoirs last weekend. It's a pretty serious Jeep trail that starts at 8,000 feet and takes you up to the 4 lakes at 10,300 feet. Truly gorgeous place and very secluded because of the difficult trail. We had the entire area to ourselves besides a couple ATV day trippers that passed through.

We snagged a few cutthroat trout, stuck the Jeep (had it on 3 wheels for a bit) and did a 6 mile hike over the mountain. Great trip. Here's some pics.

Looks like you got stuck pretty good, how'd y'all get out?

Winched off to a tree to my far right. Mostly to keep the Jeep from rolling. Hold on, I have a vid of us winching out.

He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory

Now he walks in quiet solitude the forest and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake



Thanks, John Denver.

OT 8 on the right. Not legit.

ETA: even being an OT 8, redstick, I'd have to say 1... then 2. Jeep is like an OT 9

I figured the pics were incognito enough for us to remain anonymous.

We are packing the Jeep right now and heading out tonight for Ouray.

Black Bear Pass tomorrow yo!

That is a Bestop Highrock bumper. I get lots of compliments on that thing and I have have my winch double lined and completely bound up with no issues.

I tell you who else is making some nice bumpers for good prices now is rustysoffroad.

My neighbor and me will likely build me a rear bumper and tire carrier next week.
