It’s been 2 years and we finally hit the road on two sticky wheels again. This years motorcycle trip was the best. More unexpected and impassible dirt roads than ever before! More hammock slinging than ever before! And the usual amount of biscuits gravy and coffee.
This is our 4th loop around Colorado. The first two years were well traveled roads that made a nice loop of the state, clockwise one time, counter clockwise the other. We then planned on Zion, UT but it was way to hot so we sought higher ground. The 3rd year was a custom loop devised from some of the gnarliest twisting roads in Colorado. This time, we took those same roads to google maps and tweaked each route until there wasn’t a strait section for more that 10 miles. The consequences were unforgettable! and dirty!
Check out the motorcycle section to see pics from the most recent trip. Hero GoPro video coming soon!
9.8.2011 My mom and I went to the top of Longs Peak via the Loft Route.
We stopped for breakfast at Chasm Lake and that was the last time we could SEE the summit.
At the top of Lamb’s Slide just before the Exit Ramp to the Loft the clouds soared up towards us and engulfed everything above 1,300′. From that moment on we were climbing in the clouds. It was until we got back down to Chasm Lake that we were able to see more than 20 feet in front of us. While in the cloud it snowed for short periods of time. There is a solid snow field at the top of the Lamb’s Slide that is mostly avoidable to the left, however the rocks were slightly wet and icy in spots.
The Loft itself had patches of snow which was actually helpful on the return trip. Without much visibility we were able to retrace our steps like they were bread crumbs.
No view from the top but it was a very cool experience. Back at Chasm Lake we took a look behind us and I could not believe we were up there just hours earlier. It was a wonderful trip.

If you have an iPhone or an iPad that cannot access the internet through a SonicPointNDR you came to the right place. I had a SonicPointN and everything worked fine for all of our devices. I then upgraded to a SonicPointNDR and only the iPhone couldn’t access the internet. No matter what DNS settings or firewall rules I tried.
The trick is to disable Aggregation on the Radio settings. As soon as I did this and pushed the changes to my SonicPoints the iPhone was able to get online.
Here are the details from SonicWall on the known issue: https://www.fuzeqna.com/sonicwallkb/consumer/kbdetail.asp?kbid=8091
