We decided to rent a Jeep for the excursion today. A good thing too, because where we went today were not at all suitable for our bikes. The “roads” looked like rock quarries, or packed up with snow. Just too rugged for two wheels.<\/p>\n

But what a nice day it was. We started with a good breakfast, picked up the jeep, loaded it up with our camera gear and clothes, then started up from Silverton towards Animas Fork, Cinnnamon Pass and Engineer Pass.<\/p>\n

The road started as pavement, changed to dirt, then changed to a rock pile. The jeep handled it all fine.<\/p>\n

Towards Animas Forks<\/p>\n

Then it was time for Clear Lake. We made our way down from Engineer all the way back to Silverton, then out of town on the other side, a bit north on 550, and we started to steep climb.<\/p>\n

Last stop was to scope out our camp ground for tomorrow. Molas Lake Campground it is, and the scenery is,,,well, nice. We’re headed there  tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Molas Lake. We decided on a campsite across the lake from where I shot this.<\/p>\n
