Yes, some beautiful landscapes there. Nice custom paint job on the Solstice in the one pic.

Ah, kinda takes my breath away....figuratively and literally. [multiple puns intended].

AWESOME SCENERY.... SkyBaby

That area looks familiar, is it the road between Fort Collins and Laramie?

OlSkyDriver · 08-14-2008, 09:33 AM

Great pics, and awesome views. However, go back in 6 months and post those pictures.

Rob the Elder · 08-14-2008, 01:47 PM

Yes, one of the pictures is the highway between Ft. collins and Laramie.

Colorado has 300+ days of sunshine a year. I have done outdoor activities in the dead of winter when it was 20 degrees ambient and you dont need a coat. We have 3-5 "snow events" a year and many fall and winter days when old Sol is shining and its really beautiful out.

Few drive their cars all winter but few dont drive them in the winter. I took my SOL home over three passes in a blizzard with no problems last year when I picked it up in New Mexico for the trip home.

The wife will not take her Sky out of the garage if it even looks like less than a perfect day. her other daily driver is a Jeep Wrangler.

I drive the Sol more in the fall and winter than I do my Sporty.

Was going to move to CO but gave that up when met my ex (BIGGEST mistake of my life!) Still hope to get there someday!
great photos... looking forward to more!

Do you mind if I copy these pics and possibly use them in a calendar at some point? they are just awesome... SkyBaby

Rob the Elder · 08-15-2008, 12:43 AM

We have close to 300 pictures from that one two day trip, I just picked some of the best.If you want Sky Baby I can email you the 1.3meg photo files which are much higher resolution.* You can then edit them any way you wish and of course you can use them.We stopped at a museum which was staging an outdoor wedding. When the bride and groom saw our cars all lined up across the street, she asked to have her picture taken with "the silver one"Also I am hopefully enclosing us parked in front of a 100 year old church

Great pics, Looking forward to next months Teluride trip.

Just wanted to know how many members from Colorado will be on the ride to Teluride next month on the 12-14th as we plan to join you in your beautiful countryside. We just returned from a trip to Golden, Co. on the 14th and got to see some of that beautiful country and to order our new pull behind matching Sky trailer for our Sky. We will pick it up on the 10th, then meet you all in Durango on the 12th. We look forward to meeting some of you there!!! along with others coming from NM, AZ, UT, ID,CA.

Oh!, I just have to say that on our return trip back home on the 14th we ran into one of those other 65days where it rained, actually started to hail pretty good size hail in the begining. Thank goodness I haven't noticed any dents yet! as we were crusing around 75-80 or so when it happened!

**Rail Jockey** · 08-17-2008, 02:00 PM

I've experienced one of those Colorado rain storms my self. The day after my Sky was delivered we headed for Denver for a funeral. We were on I-25 between Ft. Collins and Highland Ranch and it rained so hard the Interstate flooded. We were in stop a go for several hours. My sister told me that was an unusual storm though.

Can't wait to see the Sky trailer and meet everyone.

Wow! Beautiful pictures. Can't wait to get out to Colorado for the Telluride event and for nationals!
