PCO6 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Now THAT'S impressive. I'm inspired to build a Canadian equivalent. A "golden beaver" would attract some attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 There's quite a history on Ritchie Mines. Looks like a beautiful place to cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbain Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 It's a nice ride and very cool to see in person. I had heard of it for years but had never walked the half mile to the actual location. Here are some pics I took of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbain Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 Stretched The Eagle a little today so I can figure out limit strap length. Also looks like I'll have 4 inches of up and 7.5 inches of down travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbain Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Started working on the topper this evening. My plan is to sleep in the back for our 18 day Colorado/Moab trip this summer. I got all the windows pulled and started stripping off the old blue paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
