I plan on heading over to Golden about 9:15 from Louisville, you want to meet up on 128 & 93, there is a open space parking area on the NE corner of 128.

Good ride Jonathan, we'd never been out that way before and the destination was quite pretty.

Here are our pictures for the day, more sunset than anything. Thanks for the ride!

I am using a new site to show my photos...hope you all enjoy...make sure your speakers are on! If you see any photos you would like, PM me and I'll send them to you (some photos appear fuzzy from some of the effects of the slideshow).

Also included are SOME SSSR photos...I was able to get a few pics before the battery died minutes later!

Rudebox: NICE photos. I like the one of the poking MINI through the narrow pine trees. Looks like Old81 had a personal photog following him for the first half of the day! The zoom in on the rear view mirror is cool too.

Thank you! With all that great scenery, I tried to take more photos of those MINIs behind us but being that it felt like I was on a roller coaster, I didn't want to fly out!...or get sick! Teena

I saw more people hugging their dogs

Lasting memory...

Jonathan:

Great sunset viewing location! That immage has been etched in my mind's eye.

Shortest ever ride maybe, but one that will make for a longest memory....

Thanks for sharing such an experience w/ us!

Sorry for the delay. I misplaced the memory card with these pictures on it. I guess its easy to do when you have 10 or so cards. If anybody wants the originals, let me know!
