I took another ride in teh rain with my brother today. It was the last chance I had to ride with him before he left to go back to Montana.

Pic 1: Heading up into the mountains. 65 degrees.

Another rest stop. Echo Lake. If you play the audio clip you can hear the echo. Oh, wait, no audio clip. I'll just do an impression for you.....Hello.........................Hello................................Hello. If you look close thru the fog you may be able to see Mt. Evans in the background. Not!

Last pic. Idaho Springs. The Argo Gold Mill. Until this was built, gold ore was shipped as far away as England to be prosessed. There was a tunnel leading from here thru the mountain over to Central City. They decided to enlarge the tunnel to get more ore thru. While they were working on enlarging it it collapsed and flooded, dooming the mill.
