This has been a really weird weather year and the cold weather is coming soon.
Just saw some video of the bath house in Manitou Springs. 5' of water running through 1st floor.[Shock]
24 is shut down with big time flash flood going on.
Rained here like a bastard for some time. I's say from 4:30 til 6:00 or so?
Mah flip flops done got warshed away!!!
[facepalm]
Just came down 24 from Woodland Park just over an hour ago. They must have closed it after I made it through. Got a call from my buddy on his way home to Florissant. He got delayed around Pikes Peak Hwy (what he called Cascade) for about 1/2 hr. then were redirected to the "other lane" (going uphill on the downhill lanes). Said there were lots of rocks and at one point a foot tall mound of sand across Hwy 24.
While I was in my big truck, it looks like I got past that mess just in time.
Wonder if this is indicative of a stormy winter...
I hope so...we need it.
I am totally going to rock BFG All Terrain TKOs on the X5 this winter if it does.Quote:

Glad I just bought some fresh Goodyear duratracs!Quote:
