Re: jeeping in the clouds
Hi Nathan,
Aren't the Absaroka's (sp?) fantastic??!! Bear Tooth Pass is one of my favorite (no
4x4 required) spots on earth. Looking at your pictures sure brought back some great
memories for me. I spent a summer working at Wapiti, which is between the east gate
of Yellowstone and Cody, WY. One of the trips I took while I was there was up and
over the pass and on to Billings on one long weekend. Take the trip, give yourselves
lots of time. Spend some time in Red Lodge, its a neat town. If you have not
already, take the drive up the gravel road that is across the valley from the switch
backs up the pass. Its a whole new view. =)
You are so lucky to be living there!!!!

"we reached a height of almost 11,000 feet (gps said 10,979) and the
jeep ran as strong as it did at 3200 feet."
Sure - you installed a supercharger on your Rubi?
Other than that typo, great pics. I want to go to that area.
