Rocky Mountain high

I was thinking about how it has been seventeen years since we went out to Lake City, Colorado.
Who knows when I will make it back?
When I need a fix of San Juan country,
I check out the dashcam videos on the internet. It is almost like being there!
If you really want a thrill, watch one of these crazy jeep drivers. How they can do this without constantly invoking their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I don’t know. Just watching them sets me to prayer!
or this (especially about 10 minutes in):
Imagine doing that in a stagecoach!

I’m not sure I’d even be happy walking those trails!! I can’t imagine driving anything on them. Shiver.
It is truly insanity! I love that the one guy gets out “to video” it! He just couldn’t stand to be in the car a second longer!
Yikes-a-mighty!! I was definitely in the “way-back” and do not remember any of this.
We didn’t go on anything quite like this (!) but I do remember being pretty nervous. Now there is no way, since your father has “no peripheral vision”.
That top photo screams “Dad took this”–everyone is doing something weird.
Absolutely gorgeous country…I love it!
I recall continuing upward several miles looking for a spot wide enough to turn the Suburban around. It was so narrow I sort of wondered whether we’d just have to keep going until we got to the other side.
And it was the Suburban. I constantly expected the 4WD to break – especially 12,500 up Engineer Pass.
