A CRF250L in Colorado

[Ole]

My camera is an old Canon SX100. 6 years is very old in digi cam life.

I came off Stoney Pass and headed for the Rio Grande Reservoir.
All dirt and some trails the jeepers were not allowed. You had to drive through this metal ramp/gate thing that was only 50" wide.





it turned into a typical Colorado rock garden
some places it was so steep down, to control the bike, I shut the engine off and used the clutch to slow me down via engine compression cuz the brakes were no good on loose baby heads







Rio Grand Res was dry, last year when I was here on a street bike this was all water







found some water near the dam



they had a big fire earlier in the year that started near Wolf Creek Pass and came a long way


The beetle killed trees were everywhere







when those small fires hit a beetle kill area, they become large fires fast
The guy camped next to me said Wager Creek Gulch was a good road. It went to a ghost town and the Continental Divide



this was right across the road from my campsite and I didnt even know about it



shouldn't surprise me there are dirt roads in abundance in CO



Carson ghost town the kids had it all painted up with crap









to the Divide
