I slept over a friend's place in
Colorado Springs and despite
some very snowy and windy conditions happening, I was
determined to make it back to Buena Vista.
Here's a shot of the snow coming down on my car at an
apartment complex in Colorado Springs. |
 |
Now I'll admit this may not be the most
exciting pictorial I've ever done, but I was in the mood to snap some photos.
This was the view of rain and wind as I looked north at Interstate 25 on Fillmore. |
 |
Once I reached the area of Cascade, Chipita Park and
Green Mountains Falls on Highway 24 west,
that's when the snow really began to come down! |
 |
Woodland Park was fairly ding-dang snowy too! |
 |
Occasionally I would stick the camera
outside my car and did my best to guard the lens from getting wet.

 |
If I had any winter gear with me, I would have
pulled over to help ... Honest! (I was wearing sandles and my Krispy Kreme t-shirt with a fleece in the trunk.) |
 |
The snow-covered trees looked pretty. |
 |
As I entered Florissant in
Teller County, the snow conditions
let up a bit, but ahhhhhh, there was more snow coming! ;) |
 |
The South Platte River in Lake George. |
 |
The snow began to come down hard against west of Lake George. |
 |
Oooooh! I love trucks like this one! :)
Here are my truck pages:

Datsun Truck, 1978 Chevy Truck |

The Wilkerson Pass area.
All but the very top photo were taken while sitting in the driver's seat. Here are my other "while driving" pages:

 |
West of Wilkerson Pass, the conditions eased up on the long, straight and isolated stretch
of Highway 24 in Park County. |
 |
The old "jail" in Hartsel, Colorado. ;) |
 |
West of Hartsel as I approached
Trout Creek Pass, things became
quite snowy again. |
 |
I pulled over at Trout Creek Pass to get a couple of shots. |
 |
Coming down into the upper Arkansas
River valley, the precipitation had ended. However, the view of Mt. Princeton that many "oooh" and "aaah" over was pretty much covered in clouds. |
