Wow good times in Colorado

We had a great trip to Co. four wheeling & trail biking. We were around Gunninson Co. Out where the cows hang out, & no phones service for miles.
A lot of riders go there every yr. to ride, dirt bikes and four wheelers.
There were four couples in our group. We had 2 dirt bikes (that were ridden by two girls ) plus 5 four wheelers.
We rode through steams, rocks, climbed mountains and whatever was in front of us.
Our camp was at about 10,000 ft. In the mornings it would be around 29 degrees, then the sun would come out and warm up nice.
We would start riding about 9.am & ride all day. (about 50 miles per day) I have to give a lot of credit to the 2 girls riding the bikes. As you know I have rode motor cycles since I was 14 yr's old.
The girls had to ride through water & rocks, while climbing long trails.
The highest we climbed was around 13,000 ft. You can see forever!!
There is a lot of old mines & deserted mining towns.
Then at night we would build a big fire & enjoy the night.
If you really want to get away from it all, you should go there, sometime. Oh & don't forget to stop at Tin Cup for pie!!
