Colorado off-roading

Just looking through some of the Colorado maps trying to get some ideas where
we want to go do some off-roading in July.

Is anyone out there interested in hitting some of the hard-core trails? Adam?
 Mike? I know Walt is out, not sure about Tom. Any other crazy people out
there, or are we all planning on taking it easy so we don't break anything
that far from home?

Just wondering if I should even bother looking at the more difficult trails or
ignore them completely. There are a few spots where we can all go as a group
and the big trucks can take off for a side trip that meets back up with the
rest of the group, which would be pretty cool if there's any interest.

Specifically I've been looking at Red Cone
(http://www.mhjcontherocks.com/Community/Trips/307.aspx and
http://hobojeepers.tripod.com/RCtoGeorgia01.htm). From what I've found, the
Webster Pass trail isn't as bad as Red Cone, so those of us with stock
vehicles could take that and meet back up with the others. I'd probably try
Red Cone in my '95, but I don't trust that truck in front of the RV trailer
and don't have any way to get it out there. If anyone is bringing a truck
they're willing to take over this trail, I'm want to ride along and take
pictures. That descent looks awesome. I remember being on some descents in
my dad's Jeep where I felt like I was standing on the firewall, it's always an
interesting feeling.
