Blanca run

[ajax]

We could definatly put together a run! Blanca used to be an annual trip for the club.

yea that would be nice would like to run it with some people who have done it before !

 

[Uncle Ben]

Bald would be better - at least it would be predictable

I'd be interested in a Blanca run with camping overnight, but more as an August kind of thing....

You got it! August would be the first opportunity I would have to lead it so I'll commit to it! As is obvious in this thread the trail is doable for most vehicles 35" tires or bigger with at least 1 locker.

Could I run it in my stock Ridgeline? It's got VSC.

 

[Uncle Ben]

I don't know why, but I enjoyed this video...There was a feeling of impending doom throughout the entire thing

This is a perfect RS training video! If you can't find at least 20 things wrong with what that group does you need some training! I didn't count but I didn't watch the whole thing either....

I suppose having your beadlocks stick out an inch past your tires is a good way to limit sidewall damage.

That is the kind of group that has always scared me to death. A few mods, zero experience, a belief that a winch can get you out of anything, crappy spotters, and what I think now is the real marker of amateur hour...a UTV.

Now...a UTV with idiots hanging off the side has set a new standard. The only place that should happen is on the back nine after about twelve beers.

I think that will work. I'm also thinking it could be a club summer camp trip as the Great Sand Dunes are very family friendly as is Medana Pass which is perfect for those not wanting to tackle Blanca.

 

[Red_Chili]

I think Medano Pass and other points would be fine places to take my Mega bling poser Toyota .
One locker huh?

 

[PhatFJ]

I am in!! 33's and TWO lockers.. Oh yes, don't forget the much needed WINCH.. And I have GLOVES

 

[J Kimmel]

I would be up for Blanca this summer

 

[spcruiser]

I would be in for this run depending on date in August.
This trail is in the running for BFG's outstanding trails award this year, cash to mantain and keep the trail open, see link to vote.

Just one pair?

Heck, I'd bring 2 pairs - gotta have a backup set.




And I wouldn't hike that, much less try to drive it. I value my life.

 

[Uncle Ben]

Awesome! Looks like we have a crew! I'll invest some time into this this week and see if we can make3 it solid and on the calendar!

 

[AxleIke]

Anyone got a seat?

 

[Uncle Ben]

Anyone got a seat?

[AxleIke]

Ya....you do...get yo junk togetha
