Never done Black Bear. Done the Alpine Loop many times in a variety of vehicles and even Poughkeepsi Gulch but on a Yamaha WR450. The Alpine is pretty and easy....in an automatic with disc brakes. Can I bring my RZR?

Just read of an avalanche just south of Lake City. 1 home destroyed with 3 injuries, 1 adult serious transported to Grand Junction.

Thank you, my daughter, new husband and another couple are there now. The other end of town but no less dangerous. You should see the pictures, the snow is up to the eves. It is a blessing....the area really needs the moisture.

Snowpack is 150% of normal and early on. Still more coming. Socked in down here in Montrose. Rain.

Greetings Patrollees Worldwide,

Nature and machine prevented our Alpine Loop ascent to the top of the Rockies. It was a blessing as I was way overbooked. Both Patrols were unfit or unsafe.

Presidio Patrol gets out of ready with a wrench Rene's Garage today. Command and Control Vehicle 7 goes in when we leave.

In the meantime, all the great parts amassed have been organized and stored in their Lake City crib.

Someday we will get back on the trail, maybe this weekend with Plateaucal.

Patrolling when possible,
L60Boerne

Patrols at Work and Play,

CCV7 was handy. While Presidio Patrol enjoyed a loop around the lake.

Rene has determined CCV7 suffered a vapor lock so it might be worthy. Mountain sorte planned for Thursday.
Several offers for Presidio Patrol were received by Rene while the exhaust manifold was being replaced.


Patrolling again,
L60Boerne

Interesting location for a partial set of stairs for a spiral staircase!

I think a local dumped it on us when we weren't looking.

What does your wife have to say about this lovely lady, or should we keep it to ourselves?
