These photos aren't how I hoped to start this thread but since I can't get my Photobucket upload to work on this slow connection I have in Salida, Colorado right now, I'm going to just post a sampling from the past few days using the S2ki album setup. I know people took a lot of photos and they'll get going once they're home and have time. Jerry and I won't be home until Thursday night.
Jerry and I left southern California on Thursday morning, spent the night in Flagstaff and drove into Ignacio/Durango on Friday evening. There was a big shindig at Jim and Chris's cabin Friday evening.

^Granny talking to a neighbor of Jim's, Tom, at the cabin.
These photos are from Monday. Jerry and I left the Sky Ute Casino Resort to drive up to Aspen through Durango, Silverton, Montrose, etc. but we encountered rain that turned into snow. I was scared breathless. Since we were driving up a mountain road, all we could do was keep driving as the conditions changed, waiting for the first pullout to turn around and go back to Durango.
^This was where we pulled out at Coalbank Pass (10,640 feet). It was 31 degrees F and snowing. I hit the potty and then we tried to leave the parking lot, spinning our rear tires. I watched Jerry spin and finally get on the road again, and was trying to get on behind him before another car got in between us. I'm a Cali girl and have not driven in snow, so I was very proud of myself when I finally got back on the road after about four tries of going forward and backward, each time choosing a more level incline up to the road. Everyone was driving very slowly with their flashers on.
^Where's Jerry??
^Oh, there he is! Phew.
^Ah! Just wet now. Breathe!
^This is the cabin I'm sitting in as I type this. We spent last night here and will stay again, tonight. Time to go explore.
*EDIT* I changed the photos from Photobucket so they're larger.
