Just got back from Cortez CO. Just some pics of the pass. First pic is a couple of big horn sheep. Next are close to the summit. Last two are of a avalanche tunnel.
Me an' Earl was haulin' chickens on a flatbed out of Wiggins, and we'd spent all night on the uphill side of thirty-seven miles of hell called Wolf Creek Pass. Which is up on the Great Divide?
My wife and I a long time ago was coming south on that road in a piece of crap Ryder truck with a car on a Dolley behind it. Brakes were crap as well. got to the horseshoe turn that is just south of the showshed, man it was hairy! Made it alive, obviously!
I drove through there in 1993 when I was in the Air Force and transferring from Del Rio, TX to Lewiston, ID. Had my wife and 2 kids in the front of a 24 foot U-haul and towing our Isuzu Trooper. On up through Moab. Great trip!!
