OURAY, CO - - We spent last night in Leadville, CO, in a nice motel. Unfortunatley, the wi-fi that worked so good with the folks who had MS Word, didn't work at all with our Apple/Mac laptops. So, no blog. This morning we had the first frost of the trip on Lil Blue. The 7am morning sunrise illuminatest the dusting of fresh snow on the mountains in the background.
On our way to Ouray we took a shortcut (read: winding back road with 10mph switchbacks which went up and up and up and then down and down and down...into Aspen) which took us over Independence Pass. The 12,095 elevation was a new record for our Honda Element in the 'how high can you go' category and was also higher than any place we had been hiking during the summer.
