Stock or Not, Adventure is Calling

There’s a First Time for Everything There I was, sitting on top of the summit of Imogene Pass, somewhere in between Ouray and Telluride in Colorado. Threatening storm clouds created an ominous vibe, the crisp windy air begging us to wear a jacket in the middle of summer, and the scale of such a dramatic landscape keeping my mind in awe. How did I get to such a wonderful place, 13,000 feet above sea level, when there isn’t even a paved road to get here?

Day 1 Moab, UT - After getting into Moab from our 13hr drive from Nevada, we rendezvoused with the crew around noon to get the lay of the land. Introductions to new faces, and hellos to some old friends, we departed for camp north of town, with enough room for all our rigs (10) to have some breathing room.
