| Pearl, our truck, got stuck while
we were still on top of Mosquito Pass. Lucky for us, and quite
unbelievable, there was a tow
truck already up there to scout out how to recover a vehicle that had slid
off the side of the mountain. First time I
have seen a tow truck on any of these back roads. Lucky for us, the
tow
fee was cheap and the service was fast. |
 |
| Hard to tell, but it looks like
we just high centered on the ice and snow. Don't know for sure, but
we might have been able to extract ourselves with some time and elbow
grease. Needless to say, we didn't attempt to go down the other
side. Actually, the tow truck operators said the road was blocked
with snow just out of our sight. |
 |
| Here is the
"situation" the tow guys were really after. They could not
get the car out on that day so would have to come back later with
additional equipment. Sure
hope the driver and riders of this vehicle had their brown pants on! |

| Turquoise Lake, just outside of
Leadville. |
 |
| Unfortunately, we had to leave Colorado and return to Arkansas rather
quickly. Here is a view of the Arkansas River as it courses its
way toward the Royal Gorge along US Highway 50. Read Ann's Journal
to find out what really happened. |

| Bubba back in Arkansas camped on
Beaver Lake near Eureka Springs. This picture was
taken on August 11, 2011. |
 |
| We used this time to just unwind
and meditate. Can you think of a better place than on the point of a
lake in Arkansas? |
