ColoradoFest in the Sawatch Range: Friday

This last weekend I headed down to Nathrop to meet up with the Colorado Chapter and hang out for a long weekend. While I was there, I took the time to do some exploring and finish some trails I was unable to last year.

We got an early start on Friday morning and headed up Mount Princeton.

After making our way back down we headed up to Hancock Lakes for some lunch.

Bad ujoint…

Over the weekend, my Jeep started making some pretty bad noises from the front driver’s side. I tore it apart this evening and found the ujoint was actually crumbling to pieces. It’s a Spicer 760 that came with my Alloy USA shafts.

Time for a new one….got to get it taken care of this week and check the other side….among a few other things to repair. Need to get it back together so I can run Black Bear Pass with some friends this weekend
