| fernweh Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Calabasas, CA - Centenario, BCS - Luebeck, Germany Vehicle(s): Few Mercedes-Benz, a Toyota Amphibious and a Vespa  | Re: Ketzer-Treffen 2010 Was I ever wrong: "Tomorrow some easy dirt road passes, I always wanted to drive...... " Leaving Aspen in the morning and driving up the Taylor Pass was not a problem but descending the other side was definitely not an easy task I was looking for. Obstacle course in the Taylor River, to be completed with a 3-point turn around some large boulders was the highlight of this trail. But the next mountain pass into Crested Butte had proven itself even a bit trickier - it took me over a hour to carefully climb just 30 feet on a narrow shelf road. No Harald being around as my trusted spotter, just myself and some large sharped edge rocks close to the Abgrund. That mangled blue thing down there didn't help to improve the already existing pucker factor. Luckily, I had packed and carried my friend Thor's recovery gear bag with me. His Viking Offroad special bag, filled with all kinds of goodies. So I used my winch, hung the truck on the large rocks ahead of me, and very slow and even more carefully crawled/pulled the G-wagen ahead - Yeah, some easy dirt road mountain pass  (Taylor Pass.jpg) (Taylor River Course.jpg) Attachments ----------------  Taylor Pass.jpg (101KB - 7 downloads) Taylor River Course.jpg (116KB - 9 downloads) | |

Sehr nett! Ich verstehe mein Herr! We, now Patricia is my navigator, took the Engineers Pass on and straighten a few things out, smoothed the ride a bit - so this is now ready for you Dutch. No rear bumper killers, pin stripier or tire murders around anylonger Karl | |
