Wow. I grew up in Colorado and was just back to visit a couple of years ago. We did Vail, Keystone, Breckenridge, Vail, Glenwood Springs, Independence Pass, and Pike's Peak.

Your pics remind me of that trip. I have pics from many of the same spots. Hard to believe how cold it is at teh top of Independence Pass and Pike's Peak, eh?

Nice work. Hope you had a great time!

Very nice pics. We went to those places on August of last year, what a blast that was!

Did you stay at the Wagon Wheel Village in Jackson Hole?

Devils Tower is a very mysterious but still beautiful place. No wonder Steven Spielberg chose it for the shooting of the film "Close encounters of the third kind".

It is the only rock formation in that entire region. Worth a visit. Wyoming is a beautiful state full of natural beauty.

RonR, yes the new pulley does a great job powering out and up a turn. Thanks for asking.
Jister, I had to wash the MINI every third day because of the bugs and dirt.
Jennybeth, The only minor problem was a sqeeking form the new rear sway bar which I fixed last nite.
All and all after 7,000 miles on this vacation and over 51,000 total miles on the car. I think it is doing pretty darn good. :smile:
