Day 5 - Brought to you by Kate's Karriage

Today's tour was up to timber line on Mt. Princeton.  21 jeeps went up and 21 jeeps came back down!  That's always a great day.

But, I think the highlight of the day was the maiden voyage of Kate's Karriage.  Kate was like a kid in the candy store.  First it was the delight of hearing that engine turn over last night.  Some issues with the fuel pump had to be worked out today.  And of course a few other things needed tweaked.  Then the moment we've all been waiting for!  They took her off the jack stands, and she took her maiden voyage.

Day 4 - Tincup Pass and the Continental Divide

By the time they rolled out at 0900, the group was 21 jeeps strong!  Our ranks are swelling everyday.  A few more arrived tonight, and we have lost at least two jeeps that had to head home already.  The finally count is sure to be a record.

Today the group headed up Chalk Creek Canyon...


... to the 'living' ghost town of St. Elmo.


Then it was out of town and up the road to Tincup Pass to ....


... the Continental Divide!


One way or the other you gotta go down from there, so they headed for the town of Tincup.


Fortunately for their tender bums, the route back over was by way of Cottonwood Pass.
