Solihull Society - Denver, Colorado

Trip Scheduled: 5/10/2008

Description

Eagle Rock is a difficult trail off of Old Stage Road, west of Colorado Springs. Since it is in the trees and at a higher elevation, it is likely that there is still snow, so along with locker(s) being highly recommended, winches, chains and shovels may come in very handy. The adopting club has done some work on the trail a couple years ago, so it is somewhat harder than it was before. There are pictures in the gallery of a couple trips to this trail. It meets up with Mt Baldy trail(easy) at it’s end. Saran Wrap, another trail, is slightly further down Old Stage.

Please verify on the forum if this trip will be run or if an alternative trail is scheduled.

I know it is still skiing and snowboarding season, and Solihull Society events seem far away.

But I thought a reminder…

Solihull Society Club membership renewals for 2008 are due.

Thanks to our membership we had a great 2007.

We look forward to seeing everyone again at our 2008 events.

EAS Conversion Tech Article

After talking to many fellow roverholics (Yes, I mean you Paul!), I decided to take the leap and get an old Range to use as a heavy trail rig. My goal was just to find a truck in good condition and running for the most part. After look around, mainly on the west coast, I did find some very worthy trucks. After working out the details of the purchase with my wife, I decided to by a 93’ LWB. Initially, I did not believe I was going to buy anything that still had the stock suspension in it. Amazingly enough, the truck still had the working EAS system in it. The bags did not look replaced as they were very worn. Read More;
