Left Durango early this morning for Ouray ---gotta get over those mountains when the air is cool --so thin engine over heats so we crawled up to Molas Pass 20MPH -glad I was driving focussing on the curves and center line --mim was looking over the cliffs without guard rails -but then looking forward the mountain views and vistas were the best,Took pictures but ya gotta be here to suck this in.So down the peak from 10900 ft to the next pass 1st gear all the way pulling over letting the bikers pass waving saying thanks .Got to Silverton old mining town still looks like it-- drove thru it love it -now with a ski mt Now back up at 20 mph up the Million dollar road because they buried gold underneath-- to Red mt and Black bear pass. Holy Shit you are driving on a ledge --the guy Otto Moses had the bucks who had the vision back in the late 1800 dropped guys down on ropes to blast away the ledges to make a road .Even had a waterfall pass under the road and that is where you paid the toll back then for using the road 5 bucks. We cannot say enough about this ride across this piece of beautiful world except Mim will drive and I will wear diapers Made it into Ouray get the green chile soup-- great old mining town staying at the Amphitheather Nat Forest tucked in just what it says.Live for the moment
M&M on the go
