Rollins Pass

I am a man of few words of late. Pure exhaustion, nothing more.
Good thing I know to trust my internal compass. Coming off the Jenny Creek Trail my GPS's compass and even the sun were telling me I should be taking a left onto Rollins Pass Road. Fighting my electronic gadget and even nature itself I took a right and somehow a quarter mile later and my GPS says west and the sun is behind me. Still can't figure that out. Some sort of trans dimensional warp I reckon.
Later after summiting Rollins Pass I take an old gas line route to the top of a knob just above Jenny's Creek, seeing a piece of singletrack break off to my left I couldn't help myself and found an old ski route that lead to the Guinn Mountain Cabin and trail. I hate that I missed the upper half of Jenny's Creek but Guinn Mountain had its own bit of fun in thousands of little chicken heads mixed in a bunch of goat heads.

I give you Rollin's Pass...a photo essay

still haven't figured out if I want to see a moose or not..

Love the pics...

Man, do you like set up the cam, self time it, and then get into position. How the heck do you get those self portraits of you rolling along like that??

Karlos,

I carry a little green guy in my pack named George. Any time I want a photo I take him out and offer him a cracker to take the shot.

George caused me to crash a car into a ditch when I was around 18. He is a michivious little fellow.

Lots and lots of moose up here. Saw two a couple of weeks ago. In fact, every time I see one they remind me of you - big, hairy, smelly . . . .
