Kodachrome
Senior Member
So after getting my jerry can mounted, I got the itch to do another warm up mission until I can get clear of some last minute work this week. I did some reading and decided that some fun Kodachrome images could be made of all the jeepers, ATV and dirt bike riders who would likely come up and over Imogene Pass at 13,114 feet between Telluride and Ouray.
So off I went, up and down the Ouray side to save time. I left late Saturday and spent the night part way up the pass, rated 4/10 and camped at around 10,600 feet up, I just did not feel like pushing a fully loaded Toyota and camper up steep rock in the dark.
After a good night's sleep, I made some oatmeal and hit the trail. Once I got to a spot on the upper shelf road where turning around would be impossible, of course I found an impassable rock slide was blocking me. So I got out and started moving rocks with a tire iron. But one of them took more of a finesse approach as it must have weighed at least 300 pounds or more. I made this photo of it on the way down this morning to show where I had moved it, some 4 feet out of my path:
