First, however, we must establish some important survival tips for such journies.
For those of you like me, you may not realise that mobile phone service is not accessible in the mountains. My Pandora station playing from my iPhone and through my car speakers suddenly stopped. It was at this point I was informed that we were back in the days of the Constoga wagons and service was not to be had. Just for memories, here is a photo of where phone service ends. Very pretty!
Fortunately I have a quick sense of recovery and switched to my iPod. Keep in mind though that you can't listen to your iPod music provided on your iPhone through your car and be able to charge your phone. So eventually, the phone died altogether. This is the critical piece of information: have CD backups. I now understand why we have CD players in cars.
I hope you have gained value from my experience!
Meanwhile, enjoy some more stunning views that are available in the hinterlands of Colorado :) We were already at 14000 feet elevation when we snapped these bohemoths towering over us. I'm sure it is an important peak that everybody knows but me!
