You're more than welcome to tag along if you want. And I see you like to do some photography, which is the sole the intent of this trip, other than just enjoying some cool places, of course. I will not be doing any wheelin' if that has any bearing. If you're not familiar with where I'm speaking of, you'll be able to eventually spot the areas, which I've marked on this satelite photo (491 KB).

Hi Darren, thanks for your infomation. Most likely I will base around Aspen. I might join you too. Do you know how is Black Canyon from Leadsville?? This is my cell #405-9741978. Can I have your number too? Thanks!!

Hey Jake, thanks for the map, it is very helpful!! I couldn't make it to the wheeler Lake, I pass a few obstacle and I can't move on anymore without a locker. So I end up in Gunnison and spent a night at the Gunnison camp site. I ran Schofield pass and Lead Basin trail these two days. Schofield pass is definatelly scary to me, but I survived

My palm was sweating the whole time when I pressed the gas pedal instead of brake at devil punch!!! I had to wait like 5 minutes to calm myself down to move on...whew!!! but it is definatelly worth it. I might do it again when my brother in-law join me this week!! Right now I am in Aspen' library!! I amplanning on running taylor pass and pearl pass tomorrow. Anyone else wanna join me??
