Rockin' the Rockies: Rained Out!

Spent a couple nights car camping in Vallecito, but our big plans for some epic camping at the massive Collegiate Peaks were foiled by some crazy weather.  Blast!    We re-routed to Kevins folks house in Denver, where i'm posting this.  We took the most scenic route possible, but the views were quite limited by the storms.    Hopefully this mess clears in the next few days so we can hit Rocky Mountain National Park (which is receiving 6-12 inches of snow by tomorrow).  Touring the Coors Brewery tomorrow instead, booyah!   Here's some photo's. 
My home for 2 nights in Vallecito.  

Vallecito is the buggiest place i've ever been.  I busted out the telephoto and got a shot of the buggers.   

Views along the road.
Visibility:  Limited to none.


The entire 7 hour drive was like this...

Next stop:  Rocky Mountain National Park.  Time to slay some more fish!   But first, free beer at Coors.  When the mountains turn blue........
