In July of 1997 Kim, Ronni, Brent and I drove from Maryland to Ouray, Colorado for the first annual 80 Series Landcruiser Rally. We 4 wheeled around the mountains of Colorado for 1 week.  Below are some pictures.

Highway and clouds.  This flat road was Rt. 70 in eastern Colorado, before hitting Denver.

Rain in the distance.

Our first camping spot, next to a gravel road south of Denver.  The overnight rates were excellent there.

Approaching the Red Moutains. Ren Finley's grey cruiser is in the lower right, soon to be in the upper left.
 

Joe Chott and his wife, Pam, who is driving.  Notice the custom skidplate and bumper.

Our fearless leader, Steve Comstock. Always trying to gain a dominant position.

Ken Stewart, and wife Suzan.

Coming down Black Bear. Downward slanted steps with gravel on them, and a cliff at the bottom. No worries, right?

A view of the awaiting cliff on Black Bear.

Me in the base of the waterfall on Black Bear.  That water was so cold it was painful. The cliff in the previous picture was at the top of this waterfall.
