Released from Pueblo, told I belong in Southpark
Went out playing around above Ouray on Saturday 07/18/09. Here are a few pics.

These are from Govenor's Basin, Last pic is where the snow hasn't melted and somebody decided to park and hike from there. Looked like there was a rockslide prior to the snow so not sure what it was like under the snow.

Nice like wish I was there and seeing. Have a line on another place in Ouray for $600 a month gas, elect included. so much wish i could make move soon.
 
This is called cheating. My ol' Chalet is a capable 4x4 but I never got around to fixing the dried out rubber annoyances (door/window seals, suspension bushings, gas tank seal & other stuff) so it would be a drag to cruise between Phx and Colorado. So I hired my SOA pals to once again haul me around in their Dodge tourist trucks. How embarrassing. Sure is scenic, though, easier to see what there is to see while someone else is driving.

1st pic is the right end of the panorama, taken Friday before last in Governor's Basin.

the pictures bring back nice memories and gives me strength
 
Besides better air, the surroundings make me feel better in general. If it helps punch up your spirit a bit, ol' Lawrence, I think the Googlemobile drove over Red Mountain pass early last fall. Follow its progress at the Streetview to re-live your drive over last summer.

Now, what would be really cool is if one of you other guys can strap the Googlemobilecam to your rig and drive over a few of the 4x4 passes nearby......

That is not a bad idea at all. Might have to get into contact with google for that. Too bad my blazer isnt quite ready and it probably isnt pretty enough for them.

Its good to see you around on here again Lawrence, hopefully I will meet you soon enough in these parts :thumb:
 
Technology advancements are spectacular these days. There already is image stabilization tech going, so imagine that with a stereo 3D vision Googlemobile and some way to see that on your home PC giant screen, and you'll have a real life version of the Star Trek Next Generation Holodeck.... sort of.
