Nice

Awesome. I'd love to be there right now.

My aunt and uncle just moved back there, (Durango), after about 3 years of sticking it out in Florida. Haha, you can't keep my uncle out of Colorado for long. Not that I blame him.

I'll be doing that drive next week. Except I think I will go I-35 to Salina, KS then I-70 straight to the mountains. With all the snow they've been getting hopefully we'll be able to get up there.

Day 3. We hit the slopes (ski classes anyway and some small slopes) for our first experience with skiing. The snow was awesome, and more comming. Expecting one to two feet tonight.
Denver Airport already cancelling flights.

Hope to get more and better photos of Denver, Colorado Springs, Amarillo, Wichita Falls and Fort Worth on the way back on 1/1 and 1/2.

Day 5 was spent skiing most of the day. Didn't take many pictures.

Day 6 (today) we went to Keystone for some tubing (no clouds).

The drive between Breckenridge to Keystone was awesome:

Back in Breck:

The long drive back to Houston starts tomorrow. :?

Day 7 (1/1/07), day 1 of drive home to Houston:

Photos of Denver: (photos taken from the car while driving in a city that I didn't know)

Didn't get any photos of Colorado Springs. Ran out of wiper fluid and could barely see so I was concentrating on staying alive.

Here are some bad photos of Pueblo:

I-25 South of Pueblo, before Trinidad:

Trinidad, Colorado:

Day 8 (1/2/07):

Didn't get any photos of Amarillo. Got in very late on 1/1/07 and we were dead ass tired. Left very early on 1/2/07.

Here's Wichita Falls, TX:

Fort Worth, TX:

Saw this truck full of bikes just North of Waco: Got of shot of my kid in the mirror:

Finally got home to Houston this P.M. Shots from the I-10/Beltway West Interchange:

Look at the traffic going West on I-10, Mmmm, no where else but Houston:

Awesome tour, Boris. Hope you guys had lots of fun.

Some guys have all the fun:

Great shots Boris!! I haven't had my Colorado "fix" in a couple of years so those pics were a nice substitute. I've made that drive a few times and I'm so ready to get out of the car when we get to DFW. I can't even imagine how you did it heading on down to Houston.

Thanks again for sharing!
