WANTED: Passenger for Mt. Evans @ Midnight

Looking for a passenger to go with me on either (or maybe both) midnight on Mt. Evans runs. Planning to go Friday unless bad weather, may go Saturday (will go Saturday if Friday skipped).

Passenger must be willing to go topless on the trip, I'm leaving nekkid to someone else. Heated seats and an electric blanket are available.

It is WAY more fun to have someone along to chat with.

I'd also be interested in being a passenger if someone needs one.

You're a much better person than I. I would have a really, really hard time making the trip up to Mt. Evans and back without MY hands on the steering wheel and MY feet at the pedals...

Some people are better passengers than others. I am not a good passenger -- particularly on roads like that one.

Actually, I think I'm more scared of driving that road than being a passenger. Especially since my only trips to Mt Evans have been as a passenger. Either way, it should be a blast.

Don't be scared. The two times I've been up at midnight and seen JP he's had more clothes on than most people in topless Mini's. With his heat on....

I don't do nekkid anymore, every other time I did it ended up with another kid. After 5 figured out what was causing it and started keeping my clothes on! I hope to do Mt Evans wednesday morning on the way up to copper. Tuesday we are doing pikes peak, valley of Gods and all that stuff down in Co Springs. Bringing two newbies and have to take care of them ya kno. I told them not to worry about going off the mtns because you won't get killed, hell you'd starve to death before you hit bottom. Can't wait packing today and leaving 6am saturday morning from the North & South Carolina gang of three.

I went up there about three weeks ago with my college age daughter and she wanted to drive her Scion tC. She thought it wasn't "too bad" at first, then the road got narrower, and narrower and narrower. She did amazingly well for a newbie (but then again she's been living out there with you 5280's for three years now) and I even had to tell the Danica Patrick wanna-be to slow down!

At least they have taken down the sticks for roadside markers and replaced them with plastic poles. What an "upgrade." The pavement 1/2 way up is still a mess.

Yes, it was a late opening on Mt Evans this year

due to the good winter snow. And the frost heave really does damage the road. That's all the further we got on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend.

Oh well, let's go twice next week, at midnight, under the Perseids, dressed warm, and let's signal the aliens. R53's anyway....
