Friday, July 3rd, 2009 - On our way to Ouray










   v   scroll down   v












As we got going on the highway (later than anticipated),
we met up with thousands of others also on their way out of town




Here's a video of some of the heavy traffic that morning...






Hey, what are those things on the wheels that look like a 1/3 pie piece?




Here's a video I recorded on our way to and through the Dotsero area (home of the Dotsero volcano).
Eventually (put YouTube video clock time here), you can see the high area which the highway goes over
where the lava once flowed out into the valley.






We got this nasty mod on our windshield last year on our way to the Summit.
This is ~where it happened.




Next are a few shots of vineyards in Palisade












Here we are at our favorite, Carlson.








This next batch is fro the Ridgway area.
Here we get our first realy good look at Mt. Sneffels; a 14er in the Ouray area.




Oh ya....these are all through the windshield...
















Just rolled through Ridgway.....just a short ride down the highway to Ouray...




getting closer...




Ya know you're close when you get to the layer-cake formations of sedimentary red rock...




Finally, we've arrived in Ouray...



Sorry not so exciting for this day, but check back soon. I will be adding more from this trip in the coming days.
