Pass Bagger
So today, the weather was nice and I figured I'd go for a little ride. My ride went something like this:
3:00 p.m. Miles = 0.0. Temp = 73F. Left parking lot at King Soopers in Aspen Park.
3:42 p.m. Miles = 34.4. Temp = 68F. Kenosha Pass.
5:06 p.m. Miles = 50.1. Temp = 65F. Georgia Pass. (Snowed in 1/10 of a mile below Georgia Pass summit on Park County Road 54).
6:10 p.m. Miles = 78. Temp = 65F. Boreas Pass. (Continued on into Breckenridge).
6:53 p.m. Miles = 98. Temp = 66F. Hoosier Pass.
7:06 p.m. Miles = 110. Temp = 67F. Fairplay.
7:11 p.m. Miles = 115. Temp = 66F. Red Hill Pass.
7:27 p.m. Miles = 132. Temp = 63F. Kenosha Pass.
8:10 p.m. Miles = 172. Temp = 62F. Home.
Kenosha Pass, Georgia Pass (turned back - still snowed in), Boreas Pass, Hoosier Pass, Red Hill Pass, Kenosha Pass, Home.
I got within about 1/10 of a mile from the summit of Georgia Pass, but the road was snowed in just below the summit. Some idiot got his jeep high-centered on a patch of snow very near the summit. I tried to get some other vehicles to pull him out, but he was really in no position to be off-roading. Did not have a shovel or a tow-strap. Like...how stupid can you be?
