Hey Ken. We missed you on Sat! Glad you made it home safely! Thanks for the pix.Well I had an adventure om the way home. I made it over Ophir in an hour starting at 6:30 and didnt see another person. I then headed down to Silverton and picked up CR 2 for the Alpine Loop. It is very scenic in there lots of different types of terrain. When I got to Animas Fork I followed the sign for engineer pass and it didnt take me the way I intended, I wanted to go the other way, not through Poughkeepsie. I went over California Peak (beautiful views) and ended up at Como lake and Poughkeepsie Gulch. So I took the bypass and thought I would pick up engineer that way and continue on my plan. Then I popped another tire. Good thing I carry two spares. At that point I changed my tire and carefully made my way out to the closest exit on the Ouray side and drove the highway home. Good thing I had certificates. $75 to replace both tires and one only had half tread on it. Also really glad I got the 13 gal tank so I could carry 2 spares
