August 01, 2005Buffalo PassOne of the nice things about having graduated is having the occasional Sunday to myself instead of owing to an HR professor who wants a 30-page write-up of a field trip to a fish factory. This Sunday, it was a ride up to one of the few 2WD-friendly (sort of) Continental Divide passes that I had't been to - Buffalo Pass. I tried to do this a few years ago, but in mid-June, the thing was still blocked by snow. WARNING: The Wildflower pictures are over 200K. Don't try this at home, if you only have dial-up. Why the picture of the main drag in Yampa? Look at it. It's got more streetlamps per foot than the 16th Street Mall, but the street is gravel. This is why I want a 4WD someday. You get scenery, pictures, and views from the other side of the mountains that you can't get from pavement. Trust me. If it's west of I-25, paved, and doesn't have a street sign or a stop light, I've probably driven on it. There's stuff back there that's even worth the washboarding.
