Not too recent sir, I took these last July when I was there for the FJ Summit. Tons of fun and I highly recommend it.

Oh that makes a lot more sense. I had heard it was a down year, snow wise, in the Rockies this year, but would have been shocked it these roads were already open.
Hell, does anyone really live there? I guess he is one of 300 or so people. LOL It is a beautiful place!

Exactly my thoughts.
Even though you can often get to the top well before the other side is open.. for the top to be that clear this early would be highly irregular.
Last year was bad for snow, but they got some big storms in april/may. I was among the first few people to do BB pass last summer.. July 10th or 11th IIRC.
Yep he was the fire chief for the last 10 years. 300 during the winter - to 3500 during the summer!
First off, @atomicshawn is my hero. You've expanded my list of places I need to go in this region. Thank you! I wish I had seen this thread when it started instead of just this week!
Next, I've not been very good about taking pictures of my 80 in cool places. I'm usually driving and we just want to get there. Plus, it makes off-road adventuring look easy. I look at it and think, "That's just what it does. That's not picture worthy." I'll do better, I promise.
So, I went back through my pictures and picked out a few key pix of where it has taken me and my family over the years. It hasn't taken us places, it has given us experiences and built in each of my kids a passion for the outdoors and adventure. It kept my teen son safe in an accident that could have been worse had it been in our commuter car. It has helped me make my family what it is and who we are. It's more than just a car/truck/rig. It's a way of life. Thanks, Toyota!
Here's one picture, then a link to my album if anyone cares to peruse. It's all over Utah, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, the Mississippi river in one case.

He's getting pretty good. Not as scary as it used to be. I may be setting myself up. Probably too confident now. He'll probably steal the keys when he's like 13...

Had to take a swim in the lake
She watched too many episodes of the Crocodile Hunter when she was a kid, stuck her had under a big rock and pulled this monster out. Crikey!
