I have a 2003 Tundra Access Cab with a 1999 Phoenix Coyote and AirLift airbags. The dry weight of the camper is 750 lbs. I made the mistake of NOT buying E-rated tires. The truck has a mushy ride with the camper on, and the braking distance is definitely longer. A 3/4 ton would be nice, but I...

Amazing place, ain't it? Comb Ridge is our favorite place every spring and fall.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Beautiful! Gonna hafta explore that area. Thanks for the heads-up!

While we were at Marshall Pass, a mama bear and her two cubs laid waste to our chokecherry trees. They stripped 'em bare and broke lots of branches. Then they left four large piles of chokecherry pit poop around the yard. Since then, I've seen the family twice. I suspect the Gambel Oak acorns...

Stew - Is this on the east side of the peak?

Nice pic! Where is this?

Rotti, I'd drive down the west side of Marshall Pass to US 50, then head west to the Owl Creek Pass turnoff to take the scenic route to Ridgway. Here's a pic from the Middle Fork of the Cimarron River in that neck of the woods. What a timely post Steve. I am heading to the San Juans...

Thanks, Stew. It has been a too-long hiatus! Marshall Pass looks like a great place and is pretty close the me as well. Good to hear from you again at WtW, Steve!

Thanks, Ski. It's a place that's worthy of exploration. Checked out your blog: Great photos! Nice essays as well. Very nice Steve! We're going to pull out the maps and check this out. Thanks!

We met some pals over the weekend atop Marshall Pass, SW of Poncha Springs, Colorado. It's a 14-mile easy drive from US 285 between Poncha Springs and Poncha Pass. The 2wd road follows an old railroad grade from US 285 to US 50 between Poncha Springs and Gunnison. Lots of nice camping at the top...

HikeMT, I've been looking at the Nemo unit, but haven't committed... yet. http://www.ccoutdoorstore.com/nemo-helio-pressure-shower.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping_engine&utm_campaign=google&gclid=CJ3c7uvr5bECFcLCKgodxksAog We have a niece and nephew coming to visit in late Sept. and...

Gotta love the Moki Dugway.

My wife and I popped up at the top of Lizard Head Pass after enjoying the final day of the "Telluride Blues and Brews Festival." The next morning was pretty darned brisk. Nice having a furnace in those conditions!

Nice report and great pics. I especially liked the "Dusk @ the Citadel" series. It's an awesome place. We'll be headed out that way next weekend.

VERY nice!

Maybe in July I should drop by the Rio Grande headwaters for some of that cobbler, eh? Any interesting peaks in the area? We'll save you a piece. :D I have not climbed it Rio Grande Pyramid, but got a great view of it and La Ventana from Weminuche Pass a few years back...

How was the cobbler, Steve? Stew - It still exists in my dreams. We've been buried with getting the veggie garden going and nurturing the seedlings, so no camping yet. We're planning on meeting some pals up in the headwaters of the Rio Grande at the end of July. That will be the awesome...

VERY nice photos! I'm WAY overdue for a Yosemite trip. I've loved that place since childhood.

We're getting smoke intermittently up in Durango, 250 miles away from the Wallow Fire... as the smoke flies. Monday was so bad you couldn't see the La Plata Mountains from downtown Durango, less than 10 aerial miles away. Since then the wind has shifted. On Wednesday I drove to Bayfield and...

Thanks DD and fellow Wanderers! I'm thinking a raspberry cobbler might just be the perfect choice for its maiden voyage. I've had my eye on the Partner DO for a long time. Very cool to now own one!

Sorry to hear that. I've had to put down too many pets over the years. It's a painful experience for us, but the consolation is that our furry pals are no longer feeling pain.

Wouldn't you know I have to work on the Rapture? Dang. This is not the first end-of-the-world I've had to miss due to work. ;) LOL. Yeah, if the snow that's falling here now melts on the Rapture, I'll be out in the garden planting potatoes, peas and spinach.

Nice!

Wow. As an electrical ignoramus, I have tried to follow this thread and grasp what y'all are talking about. This thread is a perfect example of why WTW is such an awesome website: knowledgeable folks helping less-knowledgeable folks without a hint of attitude.
