We made it to camp


The road out of Denver (I-70) was pretty dicey, all the way to the tunnel, then down into Dillon. We lost traction a few times, but kept it between the ditches. After Rabbit Ears, and Steamboat, the roads got better and were fine until the last 30 miles when we decided on a short cut over Black Mountain pass. Terrible visibility, as we were driving through the clouds, and part of the time we were the only tracks in 6-8" of snow, but we made it to our favorite campsite, and, surprise, there was no one else there. We set up in the snow, grilled a great steak, had a 'nectar of the Gods' and set the alarm for 4 am. Good thing Nate decided not to come, cause Hiways 72 and 93 were closed that morning. Not sure what we would have done. Anyway, we made it up and back, and had quite a memorable time.
