I thought the same thing but he did really well on the gov/yankee run. There were a lot of switchbacks. I am trying to remember if I saw him backing up at all. He was right behind me for a good part of the way.


Great pics!

Oh there were plenty of two and three point turns. the ball joint ford Dana 60 does have a good turning radius.

Ha! I 'lead' that gov/yankee run. I had a great co-pilot too. I wasn't sure where to turn a few times but if my memory is correct we found the trail the first time. Yankee was easier to navigate than gov but I had done it the year before. Still two of my favorite spots.

Goodness I miss Ouray and look forward to 2014!

Great Pics..

I really like that J truck.

On the days you were out on the bikes, Rudy and I would move our cooler and chairs over near your truck and act like it was ours. Yeah I need one of those myself. 8-)
