Went up for the weekend to screw around in the mountains a couple of days back. Camper got a good workout with the wife and one of my dogs coming along for the first time.

At the top of the trail for Pomeroy lake. We were at 11,500 ft here.

Lots of old mine relics in this part of Colorado. This is part of the Mary Murphy Mine.

30,000 Gallon water tank for the old steam engine that rain up to the Apline Tunnel. The trail my truck is on was the old road bed for the rail line.

Then the funny part. This is a fairly new Mazda CX-5 cross-over. Look closely and you'll see 3 flat tires in the pic. Actually all were flat, the bonus is the right front had come completely off the bead. This was 200ft from the summit of Tincup Pass. It's pretty tame for my K5 as trails go and your average stock 4wd truck can go over with no lift and a decent set of tires. But the size of the rocks kinda preclude taking a "Soft-Roader" over it with 40-series low profile tires and zero ground clearance. The poor car got beat to death. Rockers are missing trim and beat in by the rocks, even the doors got hit hard at the bottom.

Minimum wrecker fee from a Tow operator in nearby Buena Vista Colorado was $250 per hour from when they leave the shop to where they drop it. Just getting to the top from the south trailhead would be 2.5 hours easy. We all laughed hard over this dummy.
