I retraced my outgoing route, and this time there was a recent rain as I was heading up Tuolomne Pass into Yosemite, which made some nice waterfalls. I left the hotel in the morning and decided it would be more fun to take US 89 south and find a way to cut over to I-15 than just take I-70 to I-15. I noticed that Highway 153 would take me from Junction UT to Beaver UT. My GPS didn’t really tell me that […] I left Leadville and decided to take the scenic route, so I headed south out of town on 24 to 82 west (yes, back to Twin Lakes), on up through Aspen, and on to Glenwood Springs, where I met Chris, a college classmate who was unable to make it to the reunion. We met at […] If I remember correctly, on my first full day in Leadville we went out shooting, and I like to think I did pretty well, except on the .308 (I never figured out where any of those shots went). I had my first try with a shotgun and skeet, and while I missed with my first […] I spent a bit of time on Sunday looking for the Bavarian restaurant I liked in Colorado Springs. The original location had closed, so I looked for them at their “new” location on the north side of town. No luck. I drove north to Denver, where I met a grad school classmate at KrispyKreme and […] Woke up wicked early to meet my guide, so we could be in Canyonlands before sunrise to take pictures. As I recall, we shot until about lunchtime. I headed north out of Moab, and filled my water bottles at the spring just after starting on Highway 128. I stayed on 128, except I turned right […] I had breakfast at one of the apparently two open breakfast places, then headed east out of town on highway 89 for around 9 miles and turned north on Johnson Canyon Road, very pretty, taking it north for about 16 miles until I turned right on Deer Springs Road, which was unpaved. This road was […] I went east on 6 out of Tonopa to highway 375 (the Extraterrestrial Highway), to US 93, thru Caliente, then on to Highway 319 east, which turns in to Highway 56 when crossing from Nevada into Utah. I stayed on this to Cedar City, where I had a bite to eat. I could have taken […] I have never driven thru Yosemite, and have wanted to do that for a while. This trip started at just above sea level, and the pass above Tuolomne Meadows is at 10,000 ft. Amazing place… |
