Nice. We should've stayed longer and I did NOT want to leave Colorado last month. Well...next year.

I got lost with my buddies. We were supposed to go through a road called Ballard all the way to a road called Donner Pass. But there weren’t any sign, and I thought there might be. So we just kept going and going found a random place to camp

I gotcha thats a cool area when it goes right! Still is though. You were wanting get off 44h rd go up ballard to donner pass and back over to 44h to pingree? Yeah the signage isnt very good. There are better mapping software. But I found downloading google maps of thr area work well. Can run them on your phone even with no cell service. there is a cool lookout around that area too.

What are some of the mapping software that can be used? And how did you download the map? Just off the app?

I was wondering what the mountains was looking like, we drove back from our trip to the Grand Canyon yesterday. But drove through the rockies in the dark. Got to go for a drive this weekend for sure.

Yeah We stopped in the Fruta area I was trying to find the trail head for RattleSnake canyon but the coordinates The site I found on google for it sent me to a mountain bike trail head instead. It was dry as a desert there

Yeah, that’s when I was up near Donner Pass. Hot, dusty, and just annoying weather, especially when you are following other friends in their rigs
