I scouted out Ouray for ya.

Post by ClayJ »

I feel so bad that I can't make the Ouray camping trip that I spent my weekend and a day each side scouting the area for you guys.

Yep, looks all good here

And here

Nothing wrong with this

Those look fun to drive over
Image

West side looks good
Image

East side looks good
Image

Watch the gas prices

All the passes are clear. 1500 miles of road checking just for you guys. I rode the million dollar highway 3 times in 3 days. Life's tough.

Gas prices. Gulp. Ouch my pocket book just quivered.

Thanks for the teaser pix. I sure love that area.

I've just gotten back in to good graces with my neighbors after an 11PM, 2500RPM, open header 460 CID alcohol inspired carb tuning night. I think those stickers might set me back.

The gas price was actually from Aspen. I hadn't looked at the price till I had put 2 gallons in. I decided 2 would get me over Independence Pass and on to Buena Vista so I stopped.
