Middle St. Vrain / Coney Flats 8-17-2008
Thanks having us join your trip, Athena.
It was a good trip! No breakage, no winching, no strapping, no stress. Lots of puddles.
It didn't rain, or snow, and it certainly wasn't dusty.
Nate in the VERY stock white Tacoma behind me for 1/2 of the trip demonstrated how capable a stocker can be. (open open, no traction control do-dads, just good tires and good driving.)
About 3 branches touched my truck on the trip.
The water got to the top of the rims or so.
Body damage would be unlikely if you were just a little careful/patient.
Trail was pretty clean. I'd like to say I didn't get strapped, but I think that Jacket pulled me for awhile. We both got heavy fishline stuck to our trucks!
Good crew. Jacket, Robbie and I represented Rising Sun I think. There were about 12 trucks. 4 turned back at the river crossing. I really don't think they got off the trail much before we did. Coney Flats wasn't any harder than Middle Saint Vrain.
