This is the 4 of us at Lake Como
which is surrounded by granite
peaks. The 4 door jeep is one of the Rubicon Recon
models that
are new for 2017. It is heavy duty everything and
did a great job
of getting up this road which is claimed to be one
of the top 10
in the world. The scenery is amazing up here. We
spent about
an hour hiking around the lake and talking with some
hikers.

Coming back down and everything
looked totally different but was
just as difficult to get through.

Climbing up and over Jaws 1 once
again. Normally Jaws 2 and 3 are
more difficult than Jaws 1 but on this trip we all
agreed that Jaws 1
was the trickiest to navigate due to recent changes
in the road.

This sign says that this road is
considered one of the most difficult
roads in Colorado and 1 of the top 10 in the world.
The map shows
4 peaks that are over 14,000 feet. The road ends
where the yellow
dots start. Click on image

I woke up to 20 elk and 8 deer in my
front yard. This cow and
3 calves were sharing the salt block.

While counting the elk, I spotted
this one bull in the group...

...and zoomed in closer so I could
count the points on his rack. I
count 5 on each side which gives him a 5x5 rack.

Part of the park overlooks the music
concerts so we sat up in the
woods and listened to Ricky Skaggs playing and
singing for about
2 hours. I got a pretty good picture from over 100
yards away.

Last day of August and I spotted the
first yellow leaves in an
aspen tree down the road.

September the first arrived with a
little bit of color in the sunrise
and one of the warmest mornings so far this summer.
It was 47
degrees out and has only been 35 to 44 all summer.

Labor Day weekend and it is time for
this year's Early Iron Car
Show in Alamosa. They had a mix of cars and trucks
from the
teens up through the 60s and 70s. This is a 34 Ford
pickup.

There were lots of 40 Fords including
this coupe.

A nice looking 29 Dodge 5 window
coupe.

Some were original like this 29 Model
A Ford 2 door sedan...

...with the original 4 cylinder
engine still in it.

This little guy had his own T bucket.
No one told him he should
not be drinking and driving.
There are 142 Old Car and truck
pictures
