    Default COS's Annual Labor Day Outting 2009:

    We headed up to Taylor Park for our annual Labor Day camping wheeling trip. We had intentions of running Taylor Pass to Pearl Pass to Italian Creek road, and back to camp on day 1, and on day 2, we were going to run Scholfield Pass to Crystal City to Lead King Basin......plans changed!! LOL!! We had a few mechanical issues that changed our itinerary!! We only wound up running Taylor and Pearl passes, but they didn't disappoint!! This was the 3rd time we have ran Taylor Pass, so we kinda blazed through it, with only a few shots along the way. Pearl is, in a word, indescribable!! Words nor photos can express the beauty of this area, but I took pictures anyway!! LOL!! I may be adding more when I get the discs from the others in our group this weekend. Here is what I have so far:

    The views leaving Buena Vista, heading up Cottonwood Pass are pretty nice!!
    You can see an old drive movie theater that is outside of BV:








    This one...not so much!! Me on the left, with two good friends, that happen to be brothers:

    Some shots as we went through Pearl Pass. This is on of the most spectacular places I have ever been, and trust me when I say the pictures due it no justice!!



    You'll notice that in a lot of the pictures the leaves are already turning, I have never seen it happen this early in the year!!


    This sign was a bit concerning, but the bridge seemed fine, so we crossed. I don't know if it is a joke or what, but I wanted to get a picture of it regardless:


    Some shots of a stream & water fall at that bridge, nice!!

    Hey bubba get your hand off my ass,

    Some days it is just not worth it to gnaw through the leather restraints.
