Colorado Time Again

Heading up next week. Most of the high country is still closed. Snow is still too deep. They've had a snow year that even the old timers don't remember seeing. Snowed another 20"'s on the first day of summer in places up there. Huge avalanches and snow slides all over the back country.

Most back country passes are plowed and cleared by Memorial Day...they haven't reached most of them yet.
Gonna make for some nice pics this year with all the snow still up there.

Enjoy. As always, looking forward to the pictures. We leave July 6 for Spain, France, and Italy.

First guy in Texas to own a snowmobile!

American Basin

Dropping into Lake City at the overlook

Some of the snow slide-avalanche damage

Some of the rides, Lake Como still frozen over in mid-July. Usually no snow or ice there by July 4th

View from the front Deck of the Rental

3 to 4 bucks worked their way through every morning off the front deck

You can see the plowed road leading up to the pass in this one. The pass was 13238ft.

Comanche artifacts at the rest area on the way up

Overly excited wife on the road up to Colorado

Rented a Pontoon boat on Lake San Christabol for a day. Limited out on Rainbows.

Lake is still off colored from all the snowmelt runoff. Usually as blue as the sky.

Nice as always.

Perspective on the depth of the snow in places.

That would be fun.
Too bad so far away.

Edit:
21.5 hrs (1360 miles)to lake city from home
