A little Colorado Color Tour and Jeep action for you!
Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2017 8:18 pmAfter moving, painting the whole house, fixing tons of stuff, re-starting RMS in the new shop, and building a new track, we finally had a FUN weekend!
We went wheeling with my sister and her family to see some Colorado colors before it is too late. Saturday we went to Aspen Ridge, an easy trail with some nice color, and then stayed at an awesome retreat that my future S-I-L has gone to with a group at the Air Force Academy. Sunday we hit the ghost town of St. Elmo and ran Tin Cup Pass, Cumberland, and Hancock Pass. Sunday was a mix of rain and snow in some areas and the trails have really taken a beating from the quads/razors/bikes going around things. MUCH more technical this time around, and a complete blast! The fetching Mrs. Reinecke's Jeep did awesome as always (the builder is a real tool but knows resins and Jeeps...) and my sister's LR3 was awesome as usual too. No breaks, no flats - a great weekend.
I had no intention of doing this, but realized I had some ok pics and some lousy video, so I put this together. You'll have to put up with the family pics, but hey - we are all family here on HRW!
There are some credits at the end and a mention about spiders...ah yes. The women folk were none too happy with how many we had to kill before we could get into the cabin. But, humans prevailed and all was good.
Lastly, besides the few Jeep clubs we ran near or with, there was a Willys club...wait for that - they were super cool!
Hopefully you enjoy it!
