FREE PEPSI!!!
You just have to rappel to get it, and scrape off some dirt! I came across this scene this morning on the west side of Wolf Creek Pass. On my way up to the pass last night, I saw that the runaway truck ramp just up the road was occupied. Just a half hour later, as some tow operators were trying to move that truck, another one came careening down the pass, brakes out, tipping onto its side and leaving the trailer dangling on these rearranged concrete barriers.

Man, why can't a Fat Tire truck do that instead? :biggrin: And closer to Denver, dammit. :cool:

Glad it seems no one was hurt.

Now if it were Coors or another Beer like beverage other than Budweiser I'd do it.

Todd, what is it with you that you always seem to see this kinda stuff? An In and Out burger truck would make me wanna rappel :toast:

Crazy! I definitely don't like to pass up free stuff but a Pepsi I would pass up up. I can see I'm not the only one with free beer on the mind.

How many times has this happened to you??? Anyway, if it were Mountain Dew I would be scaling the wall -- I am an addict (sips on freshy opened can of the green stuff).

Seeing as how you always come upon these type of incidents with your camera, you might consider a career in photojournalism. And if it ain't Diet Dr. Pepper, I'm not goin' down there. :biggrin:

I must confess to raiding 3 cans of beer from under a crashed truck one time, my conscience, oh my conscience....

OH if only I had not just pigged out on the best smoked carnitas fajitas in Colorado I would be chasing those In'N Out burgers with a cold one! They don't have those trucks here Pam... darnit! :biggrin:

On the way back over the pass yesterday, a snow plow was on its way up, no doubt to aid in clean-up. If it had been beer, that wouldn't have been needed.

Imagine what was going through the 2nd driver's mind as he rolled the rig!

I think Todd sets it up for the vehicles to wreck so he can get photos and free drinks :cool:
