OK we have been using the staging thread for the report and I figured I would post a write up in the Trip Report section.
Twin Cone was closed most of the summer for maintenance and it was great to get a run in before it was snowed in.
We left The Fort a little past 9am on Sunday morning. Nice drive up 285 to the trail head. There was 5 rigs in all. 3 ZJs, and 2 WJs. While airing down someone mentioned they were out of gas and had to high tail it to town and get some gas while we waited. (I will let him speak up for himself) Not that big of deal and when he returned we moved on. The repaired sections were mostly just filled in with dirt. No more major wash outs or mud puddles. The trail was pretty dry and dusty all the way to the top. We all experimented with our own lines on the obstacles. I tried one a bit too far over and had to winch out of it. The hill climb was an even better than previous years. We had one previously warned owner with CV style front drive shaft blow the it on the hill climb. We left his rig to the side and went to the top. We pulled his drive shaft on the way back and he drove in 2wd out and home
Another great day in the Colorado Mountains. I was really happy to see so many of us turn out for a late season run. I am going to try and get a run in at least once a month till spring if possible. If anyone has some ideas post em up.
