I followed Jackson Creek Rd into the national forest and then took a section of Rampart Range Road south on Memorial day. I love all the little roads that spur off of these into camping areas. Finally got some mud on the tires and got to test out the 4wd. Probably didn't really need it for anything I came across, but nice to try it out.
I'd love to know how some of the people got their monstrous 5th wheels back to some of their campsites.

My son is about the same age. He got to ride in the back for the first time last night bringing dog back up the street after swimming in the ditch. He thought it was the coolest thing ever.

You got Rollins pass, Jenny creek, and Kingston peak leaving from rollinsville.

little further towards Lyons there is an awesome trail leaving out of the camp dick campground.

usually those get opened memorial weekend but I haven’t heard if everything has been opened this year.
Our club was on the latest FS call. Middle Saint Vrain/Coney Flats are looking at 2nd or 3rd weekend in June for trail repairs by their club.... so possibly by end of Juneish it might be open.

the FS has been really hampered by the whole things this year and the workforce is really light... and we have had a lot of late snow on the ground still... hopefully here by start of July more things open up.

Ps if you guys didn’t hear... Kelly Flats got opened up

Keep me in the loop also as I will be settling there the 1st week of June. Of course social distancing would need to be maintained but that should be fairly easy unless we need to test out a winch or two :surprised:
OK, now that we've actually made it to Nederland, I'd love to meet up with a couple JT's to start exploring some of the local trails. Anyone available on this Saturday?

We drove from Denver to Fairplay via 285 then came home via I-70

We counted 17 gladiators!!! I was really happy to see that many in one day.

Starting to see more each week. Even my small development of 107 houses has 3 Gladiators. With what I see driving to and from work, there's probably 15-20 in a 5 mile radius from my house, 80%/19%/1% Sport S/Rubicon/Overland, and the only Mojave I saw was Andre from TFL Truck when he was filming and was filling up with gas at the King Soopers on 136th & Colorado, but didn't know it was a Mojave or Andre until a few days later when the video came out.

Hi guys.

I bought through Motor Inn of Spirit Lake, Iowa. Got 5% below invoice on my special order JT. Really cheap flight out, $26 per person, and a fun road trip home through the Black Hills.

5% below invoice....is that before or after holdback? Do you know?

What does that translate to MSRP - how much below? 6k?

Can't say on holdback. With what I ordered, I ended up paying about $40k and MSRP was $44k so about $4k savings from MSRP. I have a Tread Lightly membership to get to the 5% below invoice, $75 document fee, and the best vehicle shopping experience I've ever had in 35 years, in and out within 2 hours, plus was picked up from the airport and driven to the dealership.

My wife bought local through Larry H Miller, took 7 credit hits, 6 hours, and still got ripped off for trade-in on her low mileage 2016 Cherokee Limited. If she would have had patience, we would have ordered hers through Spirit Lake also.

Wow, that must be frustrating.

Do they do trades as well over long distance?

I would reach out to @spenchey, he's the owner, awesome to work with and he'll be able to answer the questions you may have, especially on a trade-in, as I didn't have a vehicle being traded in.
