Hanging out at the ski hill, as usual.

$40 for Gen admin? I was seriously thinking about taking Jen to this until I saw that! I'd pay up to $50 for the two of us but not $80.

Ski Hill - 10,900ft. It's across from the "Map Legend". I always camped at Devils Playground myself.

Damn, I've lived here all my life and have never once made it to the Hill Climb. Used to be tougher though when it was on July 4th.

Won't make it this year either, leaving to New Mexico for the weekend on Friday morning. Sucks too, I had wanted to check out the Fan Fest they will have downtown Friday night.

2008 Fan Fest

Friday, July 18, 2008

5:00pm to 10:00pm

Tejon Street between Kiowa and Colorado

On a different note, I also kind of wanted to see Billy Bob Thornton at the Thirsty Parrot Friday night, and I'd have liked to go to Denver for the Mile High Music Fest. Just a bad wekend to have a family reunion I guess.

So, I still missed Ski Area when I looked at the map. Good thing I invested in a GPS for traveling

I'll be at Devil's Playground on Sunday. Hopefully the weather is good, I went to the peak on Monday and it was snowing.

Lady at the front gate asked if I was gonna race my way up.

I saw some of those tractor(trailor) trucks getting prepped it looked like right before you would get into manitou on cimmaron by the bridge for 24

GTiGuy · « **Reply #13 on:** July 18, 2008, 11:14:23 AM »

Usually you can drive through manitou and see a bunch of them.

I'll probably be up at Glen Cove or Ski Area at 4 in the morning. I just need to find somewhere to sleep in my car overnight...

Amarao · « **Reply #16 on:** July 20, 2008, 10:34:25 PM »

Everyone have a good time? Sadly a lot of red flags this year, anyone hear if the drivers are OK?

fotograf · « **Reply #17 on:** July 20, 2008, 10:37:26 PM »

It was a lot of fun. The last I heard was that the co-driver was being transported to a Denver hospital...

Note to self: next year bring sunscreen and use it!

Is it me, or does the boot on the turbo look like a 16v VW intake boot?
