Mosquito Pass -- Wed., 8/3

Post by ScottBarnes »

I know it's during the week, but I'm going to hit Mosquito Pass this Wed starting on the Alma side. We'll probably hit the trailhead about 9:00 a.m. -- shoot me an email or call/txt if you want to join. scott@coachbarnes.com 972-816-1108. Scott

Man, I wish you were here! I heard some FJ's busted through the snow about 4 days after we were there. Should be a good trip!

Wow, beautiful pic's; wish I could have joined you, maybe next time. I just settled into Colorado Springs after finishing my time in the Marines, so still have a lot on the "to-do" list for the near term.

Any story on the chopper landing, or very near, on the summit behind you in the pic? Oh, and by the way beautiful day, pics and Bronco!

That's funny! I've posted that pic in several places and NO ONE else has seen the helicopter! It circled us a couple of times and the crew was leaning out taking pics of the Bronco! haha It looked to me like they were practicing high altitude SAR type activities. Here's a better pic...
