Funny you say that BTG, and maybe you should tell this guy how screwed up he is, since you're the expert. He was as cowboy as you get, WITH Colorado plates. Kept popping his lower dentures out as we talked. Had stakesides with a big ol utility atv on the flatbed. Talked about getting buried to the axles in the snow and was the real reason we didn't "fight" to get where I wanted to go. If we hadn't met him I might still be there, waiting for spring! And no...I didn't have chains on. Didn't use them till I slid off road, twice, and that was enough for me. Besides, had I stayed home we wouldn't have had a great great time. That was the point!

Now you know I'm teasing whazoo...I am ALWAYS in favor of being out there and doing it, regardless of what you have and all the rest. More is how you use your equipment than what you have. You won't evert catch me busting someones chops for giving things a shot while everyone else is sitting in their armchair telling you what a fool you are, you can't do that etc. Well, I guess there's always the 40' 5th wheel trying to take on Engineer Pass or something, but you know what I mean. More power to you, and anyone else who challenges "common sense" from time to time.

Funny 'bout the Colorado plate. I remember hearing the Wyoming 'inside' joke when I lived there for a winter:

How do you tell when it's spring time in Wyoming?
When the plates start turning green! (as in all the CO plates showing up.)
