I drove from Rock Springs to Steamboat finding Cathy parked right out front of Wheels bike shop were each of us needed fine tuning.
It was late afternoon before we headed up towards Buffalo Pass hoping for a camp site in 8 unit Dry Lake FS XG. Full. We drove up further on a deteriorating all weather gravel road. We passed on turn out that went up a steep and rutted hill. I passed it by because of the approach hoping for better. All I got was a more beat up road. We turned around then closely examined the steep entrance to that passed spot. If you kept your wheels here and over there and kept MO your van would make it. Cathy is living in her Roadtrek 190 that she has had for years. More about Cathy later. Anyway both vans squeezed into a flat spot. We sat out in the fall sunshine moving to open sunlight between thickening clouds and with standing the wind.
Next day we rode Touch of Gold in and out of aspen forests. Snow fell that night.
Wed AM was a slither down that nasty entrance. Both made it down. We scored a campsite at Dry Lake. Beautiful night.
And more fall experience.
Today we did a big ride from Rabbit Ears Pass thru 9,XXX’ plus forests and around lakes. I am tired from that ride. Tonight I have 4G signal from Rabbit Ears. I will add more at another time. I am crashing.
