    Would you have gone first over the rockslide?

    • @knotbumper
      @knotbumper Год назад +2

      Nope, in 1976, I watched a Cat (D8) try the same thing, up on Mt. Bessemer in Washington. The Cat went half a mile down hill and the operator was never found. I would never try that on such a fresh slide with all that water running through it.

      Yes, and the fact you all made it look easy shows there was more to it but adding dramatics to the video makes some who never off-roaded outside of Ouray more exciting. Went over a bigger rock slide on Engineer Pass, and once in Moab.

    Id come over that rock slide in a second. Didn't look that bad but thats not uncommon in that area at all. Last year we were there to run several trails including black bear. It was down for 7 days for slides just like that. It opened and we ran it solo in 2:45 flat. We were scared of more slides as it was predicted more storms that day. It was super wet and the waterfalls were crazy big. That area is no joke and definitely respect it. 🙏

    If you know what you're doing and you have folks out directing you it's good. So many newbies out there now. It's scary. We were passed by a couple of jeeps that were in a big azz hurry and cussed out because we were in the way. We pulled way over to let folks by as there were people coming down that had no place to pull over. I mean the rule is that people coming down yield the right a way but I digress. A couple of the jeep drivers coming down were clearly new and scared to death. Coming back we saw one of the jeep drivers that were mad at us going up with a broken axil. Hmmmmmm..be kind, be respectful, follow the rules. Stay off the tundra.
