Guanella Pass, Loveland Pass
So, I heard that Guanella Pass was open, and figured I'd hit that one today, as I've not ridden over it this year. I saw goats on the pass and I've seen them before, but it's been a while. Met some other motorcyclists on the summit taking pics. They flew out from New Jersey and rented motorcycles to ride. At the gas station in Georgetown, one guy realized he didn't have his wallet. See, people think it's easy to travel, but it's really not. Dude doesn't have a valid photo id to show them at the airport to fly back to Jersey. This is why I carry my passport in my back pocket 24/7.
So, I left them, and then rode up over Loveland Pass. Then down into Dillon, and home through the Eisenhower Tunnel. So, I crossed the continental divide twice today.
