Hello from Cameo Colorado

[Spider]

Cant believe how warm it is here
I have to go to 45 road , 15 miles Northwest the road changes to Roan creek rd in Garfield county , stay on that until I reach Conn Creek rd , ( get this .. there SHOULD be a sign saying Cheyenne drilling ) it is another 5 miles to the guard shack , then a another 2.5 miles to a y intercention , stay to the right go another ½ mile you will start climbing a`mountian ox road after the second switch back there will be a road leading to the Rig ..............How is that for directions ?

[Meck77]

Cameo eh? Never heard of it. I won't be there real quick.

[Spider]

About 12 miles east of grand Junction colorado

[Los Broncos]

[Spider]

[Spider]

It was a rough ass run

Wow... Just about every day in my area of the mountains a tourist slides off my paved icy road. It's usually some idiot in a big ass 4x4 truck. They wouldn't last 5 minutes on that road. That's a pretty tight looking switchback ahead of you.

What was the name of that trucker show where the guys were driving across flat ice? Seems like a cake walk compared to that down hill turn.

Ice Road truckers ...... Yeah some of us will tell you we do the most dangerous driving job out there ....... You right about that switchback .... I slid my 5 th wheel all the way up , droped the air out of rear tandem , still hit the side of the mountian

[Spider]

But on the other hand I am able to support a wife , 6 kids , without any help from the government
I get paid very well for my driving skills

[Pezman]

Holy white knuckles there batman! I'd have required a pair of extra shorts after being lugged down that kind of road! Be safe bro

[Meck77]

I don't quite understand the macho mentality of the fools that think their 4x4 doesn't need snow tires or chains on icy roads. Cracks me up every time. Seems like the front wheel drive hondas do better then some of the idiots driving around in their lifted trucks.

I guess some people don't get the connection between tire traction and roads.

I dont either .. if I had my way ,Weatherford would have met me at the bottom of the hill where the pavement was and unloaded me there ......I dont mind telling you , there were times I was a little shook up

[Los Broncos]

Dam, looks scary bro.

Cool, out in my neck of the world! Lotsa fun up there in the hills, cept when you are in a truck in the middle of winter hauling a load! There is so much going on in this part of the state right now, trucks are everywhere hauling all kinds of loads way out in the sticks.

Its lots more fun in something like this:

Come on up to Montucky, these rednecks up here 1. cant drive for ****, 2. think that 4 wheel drive means 4 wheel stop and ice has no effect, 3. the bigger the tires, the bigger attitude and ego.

[Spider]

[BMF Bronco]
