    Unfortunately, I do not have such a picture. But take a look again at all the tons of pictures I have posted in this thread alongside the 2 videos I have posted here. If you look at all those things a few times and it is not very helpful enough, then I do not know exactly how more to help. I...

    It is called Gemini Bridge Road. It is the road to Gemini Bridge. It is also called Gemini Bridge Trail. That exact spot where I am is about a mile from Gemini Bridge Trailhead. Which is the start of the Gemini Bridge Trail. It is a very popular trail for mountain bikers.

    Thanks for the compliment about my July road trips. I have been really lucky taking them. No guarantees I will take them in the future years, but I am hoping I will have the time and money to do it again. As for my QX56, I really love it. But it is a love and hate relationship. I have 2 threads...

    Thanks about my trip report. If only you had posted on this thread when I was in Colorado Springs, I would have made an effort to meet you and say hello. Skyline Drive is really a nice and scary drive. I am not surprised there can be a rollover. But that can be deadly, since that road is very...

    Nice to know you went to Canon City and drove the Skyline Drive. It is a very great drive. People should put it on their bucket list if they ever go to Canon City. It is very scenic and the views are truly spectacular. You should share some pictures you took on there. I did not take any pics on...

    No, unfortunately not. The shop did the work and I had a hard time convincing them to let me take any pictures in their work area. I am sure it should be easy for you to wire them your own way.

    About 200 miles before I left for my road trip, I did an oil change. I mixed oils up since I am planning to send in for a oil sample after using a mixture of different oil weights to see what Blackstone Laboratories say. I am planning to go for 15,000 or 20,000 miles before my next oil change...

    Today, we left Colorado Springs for the 6 hours drive to Amarillo, TX. Tomorrow we will do the 9.5 hours drive home. Today was 6 hours of smooth driving where I almost ran out of gas doing mostly 80mph. When I filled up in Colorado Springs I was hoping my full tank of 26 gallons of gas would...

    Yesterday was our last day in Colorado Springs. Went early to Pikes Peak. Glad we got there before 10am because after that, the crowd was just too much for a Monday. Also, there is a major construction going on at the summit for a new welcome center, so you are allowed to park only at mile 13 or...

    That is cool to know you may retrace some of my visits on this trip. No, I did not do any trail while in Colorado Springs. But if anybody visits Canon City to visit the Royal Gorge Bridge, I strongly recommend taking the scary Skyline Drive. It is a really great drive. Those who have done it...

    Next, we drove for 1 hour 30 minutes each way to visit the Royal Gorge. Very touristic place. $29 admission fee per person. So many tjings to do. Too bad we waited in line for almost an hour for the Gondola ride onky for it to be canceled because of weather. Any lightning puts a halt to it for...

    I left Ouray yesterday at about 8am for a 7 hour drive to Colorado Springs. I stopped in Aspen, Colorado, but there was not much to do. Just way too many people put enjoyng the Saturday. I visited a Farmer's market for a bit. And then got back into my car to begin my climb up to Independence...

    This was my last pass for my trip to Ouray. One final stop now at Animas Forks and then off to Silverton to air my tires and then drive back to Ouray. These are some of my pictures from the beautiful Animas Forks. And this is all for my Ouray offroading adventures for 2020. Tomorrow, I...
