Thank you to @GlossNGas for suggesting a trail day today! She also crushed it today! We had a fantastic group of people to wheel with, minimal trail traffic with the bonus of some cool yotas and @DomOfTheDead bought me a lovely dinner afterwards. ❤️

It a bit of a rough start, shortly after we got off 70, towards Loveland I had to pull off due to some extreme dizziness. I wasn’t sure if I was handling the evaluation bad or something else. I had friend riding shotgun with me who said it smelled like exhaust. It came on pretty fast and just as quickly was getting worse. While airing out the truck, an employee drove by and said we had nice 80s. Sometimes you just need a nice compliment to help perk up a little. @chillbill and @Mag71k5 pulled up behind us. We let them know what was happening, big thanks for the pull off and their kindness. They offered my friend and I seats in their trucks if we needed them. Those things never go unnoticed. Thankfully we didn’t, Dom my trusty mechanic husband will be checking out the truck to see if it was the exhaust or just me.

Due my dizzy spell we pulled up just after 10, so long for being earlier 😂. After airing down and a quick driver’s meeting we were on our way! We passed one yota group on trail, pretty painlessly to! Had a lunch right before the Sts John portion of the trail. Everyone nailed the hill climb! It helped that we caught a nice opening for it well. I think more people tend to the trail in the opposite direction than we do. We enjoyed the views, lots of mushrooms, the wildflowers, one trail dog and one trail cat! After we got home we talked with boys (Dexter and Phil the cats) that could be them. They seemed less than impressed so I don’t think that’s happening. Thanks for the rambling here. I hardly took photos, it’s much harder when you’re driving. @Cruiser45 , @Mag71k5 and @chillbill also checked out Destination Outdoor, I’m curious to see how that was.

Agreed. I didn’t get any pictures of those together either.

Sorry I missed you all. I accidently ended up in the wrong group and ended up doing a trail with the Destination Outdoors folks! Who would have guessed there would be so many Toyotas out on the trails last weekend.

Sorry to have missed you but it sounds like you still had fun! What trail did you do?

I ended up doing Chihuahua Gulch. It was an easy out and back with a water crossing and some nice scenery, but nothing very technical. And then I checked out an old mining structure off Peru Creek afterwards.

Chihuahua Gulch is awesome! We camped there once at an amazing spot. Looks like a great time.
