Mike finally gets out of the office!

Today the Fall Color Tour swung through Salida and picked up Mike at his office. They all went for an early lunch at Patio Pancake before heading out on the trail.

The group of 12 jeeps started up Poncha Pass, then turned off at the O'Haver Lake/Marshall Pass road. This road is an old railroad grade. O'Haver Lake is a popular camping and fishing spot.

Marshall Pass is at 10,000 feet. They checked out the winter cabin up there before taking an alternate route back to the highway. On the way home, the group all stopped for some ice cream in Poncha Springs.
They couldn't resist having ice cream on the way home!
When they got back to Thirsty Dirt, we heard a few tales of troubles, like a broken throttle cable, but otherwise, a very successful ride.

These photos were taken by of JPet of the CJ2A page. More of his photos can be found at the Fall Color Tour's CJ2A forum
