Yep, Colorado Kicks ass

Woke up in Ouray, had a delicous breakfast buffet, and soon hit the mountain passes.

We ran Ophir pass, Imogene pass, and Corkscrew pass. Doug rented a lifted jk wrangler on 33′s for those trails. Walls of rock were on one side of the jeep at times and a thousand foot drop on the other side. Plenty of river crossings and even 10 feet of snow when it was 75 degrees out. Took Imogene to Telluride where we had some pizza at “Brown dog pizzeria” We were sat at a table and a brown dog walks up to us and lays down by our feet. A few minutes later one of the owners comes over and takes him away. I was a little upset, that dog was awesome. I dont remember the name of the pizza we had but it was delicous. The owner of the place is also a red sox fan and the place is decorated with lots of red sox memorbilia.

We had plans to run Engineer pass on our way back east but it was getting late and some locals overheard us talking and said that was a terrible idea this late in the day (about 6 pm). We headed to the highway and now reside in colorado springs for the night. Denver tomorrow where we plan on just taking it easy for the day. Adam and myself will be in boulder sooner of later as we hear it is a really cool town. Might be another day of wheeling thrown in as well.
