All-4-Fun Pictures

[Cateye]

These are pictures of our 7 day TrailManor vacation to All-4-Fun (July 31 - August 7). This is a Jeep "happening" with over 350 jeeps and 4WD vehicles in attendance. This event rotates to a different location in CO each year and people come from all over the US for the fun. This year it was held in Georgetown, CO. There is lots of Dancing, Food, Entertainment each night under a Big-Top tent and of course 5 off-road 4WD treks (trails) in the surrounding mountains. 4WD trails varied from very difficult/technical to trails suitable for stock 4WD vehicles. Of course all trails were incredibly scenic. Altitudes on the peaks and passes were from 12,800' to 13,300 ft. On one of the pictures (Red Cone Peak), you can see some very "tiny" jeeps coming off the top of the peak. This trail is generally considered the most dangerous 4WD trail in CO. The picture of the Jeep coming down the steep side of the peak (with the red colored rocks) is another view of the same trail. Extremely low gear ratios and a very slow and controlled speed (no braking!) are required to prevent the rear of the vehicle from coming around and causing the vehicle to roll.

Our TrailManor worked superbly. On the second afternoon a windstorm came throug camp and blew over many tents and actually blew a pop-up over and onto the top of a Class A motor home. The TrailManor was unaffected even though it was totaly exposed to this blast of wind...impressive.
