Colorado Krew Hangout

I just took my soft top off and it was in way worse shape than I realized. Then again, not bad for an almost eight year old Pavement Ends budget top.
 
I have family coming in from Nebraska. We're going to the WWII Aviation Museum in the springs on Saturday. They're going to put their P47 in the air. My grandad was a P47 pilot so this is exciting shit for us 😂

That's awesome,

My family is currently near Ft Bragg. Where wife and I grew up, I was stationed for 5 years there too. So my son is sending me photos

That should be exciting for anyone! The Thunderbolt was an awesome aircraft!

Well, what a hell of a day. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the pilots and people of that museum. Such a surreal day for us to watch them fire that thing up and fly it. They did a few low passes right over the crowd that was just plain exhilarating.

I talked with the pilot/ 1/2 owner and told him the story of my grandad. All I wanted was an opportunity for my uncle to get to sit in the cockpit. The pilot not only let him do that, but allowed 3 generations of family to get in. Over the top kindness from the team. It really made my uncle's day and more than likely more than that.

That’s really cool.

Did your parents have a tall milkman?
 
Anyone have more info on what happened on Wheeler Lake Trail? I saw pictures that someone had filled in part of the v-notch and cut a huge path in the trail further up. Apparently the USFS is investigating and it was not done on their behalf.
