Hey Tomo, nice Jacket. Looks Familiar :-)

Yes, the "pre-treffen" was lots of fun too.  Thanks so much Brent for taking time away from your busy schedule to lead us.  I know we really had to twist your arm to get you out there.  :^) ....I guess the real thanks should be going to your wife who was "minding the store" while you were out tromping around.

I'm sorry to have missed the guys that met in Ouray to head over to Moab.  My group was in no condition to be around the general public after a week camping out without showers!  We got back to camp in time to have dinner cooked and my awning deployed before the rains set in, so we ate a fair to middlin' Italian dinner and drank plenty of beers before finally deciding around 9:30 that the rain wasn't stopping and we'd best head for bed. I did make it back to Ouray about 9:30 on Friday morning and swung by the Matterhorn on my way through town, but you early birds had already bugged out.

Maybe next time!

Great picture Brent!  We had the same at South Mineral.  No snow in camp, but defininitely not more than 500' above us.  I guess that was the difference.  I was sitting out admiring the beauty with an extra cup of coffee before heading up the pass  while those guys were bugging out for warmer climes. 

Those first dustings of snow sure are purdy.  I was hoping I'd get the sun to break through for a nice pic of snow and Aspens up around Ironton, but it wasn't to be.

A great trip all in all.
