I'm guessing a camera phone.

Went to Ozzfest last Saturday. Coors amphitheatre here in Denver serves some good slushy style margaritas! That was a long day and a big beer tab.... This Wednesday I'm going to Sounds of the Underground. Come on GWARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR@!

Not sure what the best one is.. But there is a mentionable one in Along Came a Spider. {edit} And Stranger Than Fiction.

Efteling looks like an awesome park, I wish there were more photo trip reports of it. Thanks for the pictures and video!

Afterall, it was YOU that lost your child.

This virus has been going around for a long time now.

lol.

Nice pictures, it looks like there was a big variety of cars (and trucks) there. This picture bothers me. Why would someone go through the trouble of making a car look so nice, only to slap on such a FUGLY bra.

Exactly

It sure does look nice lit up at night. Though it doesn't look quite as nice as most GCI's do. I can't wait to see some video of this thing hauling butt.

I would contact the manufacturer and explain the problem, maybe they will replace it. Either that or get a new and stop putting more cards in it.

McDonalds makes my toilet blush.

Wouldn't its performance on curvy bits still be hampered a bit because it still used 2 axles per car?

Take a look at the results of their last efforts on making trailered trains....

Where is the fun in that though?

I am still waiting to go get mine but... http://www.letstalkcolorado.com/tshirt/ The only catch is that you have to go to one of the 'Welcome to Colorado' locations. Which I think are all on the state border and at Red Rocks near Denver. I picked the mountain biking one.

Lots of people actually do ride their bikes to the very top. I know that some start at the school in Idaho Springs right off of i70 and others just start at Echo Lake. Either way, DAMN. There is even a bike rack at the top.

^Actually, that last climb to the top wasn't that bad. Even with having to scramble over and up two snow patches, I never once had to stop and rest. Here is a complete video of the drive to the summit that I found on youtube;

Did you drive Trail Ridge Road in the park? That is on my list of things to do still. We havn't driven the road up Pikes Peak yet, but we plan on it. The only thing I'm sort of concerned about with that drive is that it isn't totally paved. And I drive a Pontiac Grand Am. might be tough on the car?

^Awesome! You are right about the hairpin turns and no guard rails!

After checking the weather for the Mt Evans area on Wednesday night, my girlfriend and I decided that Thursday morning would be perfect for a drive up the highest paved road in North America. All I can say is WOW, what a spectacular drive! If you are ever in the area during the summer and have a few hours to kill and the road is open, do venture up it. The views, the scenery and everything you experience going up it is amazing. There is really 2 parts to the drive, once inside the Mt Evans wilderness area. The first part begins at Echo Lake and continues up through the treeline and onto the tundra via a two lane (although narrow..) road. The first part of the drive ends at Summit Lake (12,830 feet). From Summit Lake you get a good view of Mt Evans' summit and Mt Spaulding. There is also a parking area here with trails. To continue to the top, you pass through a gate and onto a narrower road with no lane markings. From here all the way to the top, it seemed like it was just switchback after switchback. You start to get a real sense of exactly how high you are in the sky. If you are nervous about heights in any shape or form, this will certainly be a white knuckled drive for you. Some parts of the road are right along drop offs that look like they go on forever. After navigating the switchbacks, eventually we reached the top. There is a small parking lot and an over look area. Upon reaching the top, we were greeted by a family of Mountain Goats. If I remember correctly, we arrived at the top at around 8:08am. Eh, enough with this typing stuff and onto the pictures... I bet that water is cold! Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed the pictures A Bristle Cone Pine tree that is 1600+ years old. I was really looking forward to this area, but it was closed for restoration I hope my brakes still work Heading back towards the treeline Heading back down one of the hairpin turns This picture does not do this view justice, just over that snow pile is a straight drop to the floor below... They really are everywhere.... Looking down at Summit Lake, 1434 feet below From the very top I did climb to the top, this is looking back down at the parking area Those rocks sure do look appetizing What a view...Road below is approaching Summit Lake To reach the very top, you have to actually climb the last 150' up that big rock mound At the top with some goats AWWWWWWWW Nice view looking South West..I think We saw a crapload of these Marmots along the road. At one point after rounding a blind corner, 15 or so of them all jumped across the road The road after Summit Lake heading towards the top Another view of Summit Lake, still frozen Looking toward the top of Mt Evans Summit Lake Looking out off the mountain with the road on the right HIIII JAMES! Hmmmm Do look down. omg whats this?! After turning onto Mt Evans byway, you are soon above the treeline Ah, here we are Echo Lake, without any echos Still climbing towards Echo Lake.. Heading towards Echo Lake Just one more exit until the excitement begins.. Uh oh, I seem to be suffering from tunnel vision... Being able to go 75mph without touching the gas pedal is awesome Must be nice living on that hill Looking west on i70 yay, almost out of the stinking city Purchasing some liquid gold at 5:45am Destination

Which band?

Same situation happened here as well. First tickets were easy to get a hold of then, then the ticket website started acting like a dumbass.

So who ended up being able to get tickets?

Celebrating my birthday a few days early... Tonight's grub should be awesome too. Homemade 1/3lb hamburgers, potato skins (stuffed with cheese, bacon and other various heart attack inducing ingredients) and caesar salad. And to finish it off, a lemon meringue pie. *edit* oops, forgot to upload the pic
