It was a great trip Lower helldorado rocks :-))), my problem was the trip back. At Frisco an idiot driving a van for taking people to the ski resorts decided to slam on his brakes and the pickup two in front of me locked it up getting sideways, I get on the binders hard and fall over into the other lane to get around. Hard to stop a 6000lb blazer on a 2000lb trailer on a dime. As I am going past he switches lanes hitting my trailer in the fender and my blazer on the left front fender. Ever played bumper cars at 70mph? It is not fun. I chased my trailer all the way over to the emergency lane on the trailer brakes and the gas to get it back under control. Blew out the left rear trailer tire as well as destroyed my trailer fender. My heart eventually started beating again though, and I managed to get home around 7:30 last night. Should have just stayed in Moab. Now I need about two weeks to wind down and then us Colorado guys are going to have to hit it hard some where around here. As a last thought I feel vindicated. I went there to settle a score with the bump dump and after about 7 attempts I got up. Should have made it in two, but I was in too low of a gear and just could not get the wheel speed. Took the doubler out of low and went right up then. I only took the hook on the rock pile this year, and no body in a short wheel base made it. But then there is always next time.
I thought I was wrong once,
but I was mistaken
