    Has anybody completed the Colorado-Utah sections of the Trans-America Trail? I've searched this forum and tundratalk and the closest I've found is a 4runner. Any local Colorado folks done the Alpine Loop at all? My concern is the truck being too wide/long for some of the trails..

    TIA

    I've never heard of it. But there's a spur close to me. I need to check it out but from the description I might have been on most of it and didn't know.

    No, a gar is a trash fish that I've caught to many of. I don't care if I see another gar ever.

    True. My aquarium manager prefers a peaceful tank. So I think I have a vegan tank.

    Back on track. I've never heard of this before. The website is motorcycle centric, but there could be some cool stuff for people without motorcycles, but I don't get the scrolls that only work from left to right.

    She recently finished a solo hike of 12 back-to-back peaks with serious elevation changes in North Carolina all in one day, and now she is heading for Austria for a 'nature walk' in the Alps before traveling to Antarctica... she's in her mid-60's.

    I believe I am going to part with it. It’s a garage kept 2012 990 Adventure with 3,300 miles. Many, many extras and upgrades. Never taken Offroad.

    A Gar is actually a guy I work with, he's a retired engineer that uses his savings for the day to day and works in our support department so he can buy his wife cars and take her on cruises. Drives a lifted and outfitted Jeep, but his personality makes up for it. Good dude, and that's his real name.
