My Ouray Trip

[Scotty J.]

Shitty Hotel WiFi has Multi fails, so it's being a pain to upload pics.

The first link will just be the views from our Hotel in Ouray. This place is awesome. We left 90-100 degree temps with pretty much the same numbers regarding Humidity to 74-80 degree temps who cares what the humidity is LOL.

What I've learned so far; I am terrified of The Million Dollar Highway heading out of Ouray. I have absolutely no problems with the trails. It must be the speed thing and not my absolute fear of heights.

If you like off roading, this is absolutely any ORV park you've ever been on times 100! Today we did Animas Fork, Cinnamon Pass and Engineers pass (we did the summit, then went back down and took it back to 550 just outside of Ouray). It was a bit rough as we headed towards Ouray (think rock obstacles), but nothing we haven't seen at the local ORV park (minus the view that is).

On to the pics, as soon as I pull the trigger on this post, I'm going to start uploading the wheeling pics from today, so it may be tomorrow before those are posted.

Anyway, here's a slide show of the view from our Hotel: TEH CLICKY

I went through Ouray once and always wanted to go back. Drove the Million in my Escort and got to enjoy Zero trails. Breathtaking nonetheless.

Wow that looks alot diff. in the summer. but you want to have a interseting time. drive that highway about 3am with snow coming down. but still a pretty place.

At least the upload failures are random so there are pics from all three places we visited yesterday.

I guess I should mention that I'm here with a group call International Full Size Jeep Association. Major props to them for letting my (counterfeit) FSJ tag along!

Here is another slide show. The first few are us getting everyone together, next is Cinnamon Pass, then Animas Forks, finally Engineers pass (top), we finished up that run on Engineers Pass (bottom) with a quick jaunt into Ouray. There are about 30 pics that didn't upload. We did Imogene Pass today, lot's of pics from there to be uploaded, probably Sunday when I get back home. fighting this Hotel WireLess sucks!

Anyway, on to the pics: CLICKY YET AGAIN

Yeah, this place is incredible. A must for anyone that like trial wheeling. I'd say today's difficulties were around a 3 diamond. Not too technical, but that sudden drop off the side makes it a bit more mental so to speak LOL.

There are videos to come, lot's of video. my wife doesn't understand the concept of turning on and filming, she does short jaunts which usually end up needing considerable editing.

Awesome photos Scotty, and your red Ranger looked right at home out on the trails.
