There is a new video posted on Bosque Bill's Backroads travel & camping blog. After much procrastination I've compiled a video from footage taken last season. The video was published in 4K UHD, so I recommend watching on the YouTube site rather than on my blog. Watch in full-screen mode if...

Read your trip on your blog, unfortunately the way Google set ups the comment system uses a cross-site scripting, so Safari won't allow it. But I enjoyed the report. Definitely an area on my bucket list.

One of the frustrations you'll see expressed here from many FWC owners it the lack of documentation on where exactly those aluminum channels are located under the skin. FWC refuses to say where exactly they are placed, claiming there are no specific fabrication drawings and they are simply...

FWC models have a welded aluminum frame which supports the bottom section very well, independent from the top. I think ATC does as well, but perhaps an owner will chip in. I have been known to move from one campsite to another with the top up going very slowly. Note, however, the floor of the...

Appreciate your comment, Happyjax. Happy New Year!

Wj and searching, thanks for taking the time to comment - I'm glad you enjoyed the report.

jd, fireman7, thanks for your comments. Glad you enjoyed the reports and photos.

Ha, ha. Glad to be of service. Thanks.

Elken, takesiteasy, Vic, and Occidental, Thanks for your comments. I appreciate it.

Thanks, Frank. I admit to some surprise those mines were operating as "recently" as 1974, but then again they are in pretty good condition.

Thanks, Zoomad, for the additional details about the area. Not a big fan of super rocky roads, but may have to explore in that area some more.

Bosque Bill's Backroads goes to Colorado (and northern New Mexico) - September/October 2019 Visiting such locations as: Creede, North Clear Creek, Lake San Cristobal, Cinnamon Pass, Animas Forks, South Mineral Creek, Kebler Pass Road, Cottonwood Pass, St. Elmo, and more. This report covers my...

Great choice. A bit more expensive than some other tires, but well worth it.

You wrote "No off-road use", but list AT style tires. I don't go off-road, but do drive some very rocky, bumpy, steep, rutted roads in Utah and Colorado. I have a Fleet with Firestone air bags and added Bilstein 5100 shocks front and back which made a big difference in ride and stability. I...

Yes, lucked out with the timing. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks, Occidentalist and JD. Appreciate your comments.

Thanks, Ski and Frank. Glad you enjoyed the colors.

Friends, I had a great trip to Colorado the first week of October. The aspen were great and I took lots of photos. I’ve barely begun to process those images and only have a bare outline for the post text. But in the meantime I took a day trip to view the red maples in and around the Fourth of...

Just back from a week in SW CO - the aspen were gorgeous. So many photos it may take some time to put the trip report together. Saw quite a few FWC/ATCs up there, too many to list, and a s#!tload of those mass-market pop-ups. One cool rig of note was a flat-bed mount on a late model tan Tundra...

Thanks, Frank. I've not ridden either, but love to see them. Maybe one day I'll buy a ticket.

Bummer you didn't get your planned fishing in. I did see a couple people fishing Trout Lake, but didn't see them catch anything (if that's any consolation.) Did Chris get you fixed up at Rocky Mountain?

Just posted a video of less than a minute in length showing the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad as it left Silverton. https://youtu.be/0N8boLDpeWc

Yes, you are allowed to camp up near the lake. It's above the timber line, so prepare for it to be chilly and windy. If you do camp up there, please, carry out your grey water and waste as it's such a pristine place (not that I really need to remind folks who are regulars on this forum.) There...

searching, ETAV8R, N'kwala, smoke, and cayuse, Thanks for reading my report and taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. Bill

Frank, thanks for your comment. Those two towns, nearby as the crow flies, are quite different. Silverton gives more of a working class vibe; Telluride is surrounded by estates of the wealthy. S. is in a wide basin with beautiful mountain views; T. is in a narrow canyon with spectacular vistas...
