IntrepidXpedition 2007 | Day 5
Monday, July 23, 2007
I got up very early again this day and it was turning out to be a very nice day. My first goal of the day was to check out the Alpine Loop. I started out by making my way over to Engineer Pass.

The following morning I started out with a quick drive on US 50 from Monarch, CO to reach the start of Old Monarch Pass. My final destination at the end of the day will be Silverton, CO and I will be getting there by barely touching any paved roads all day.

Even with the lack of sleep the previous night, I got an early start the next day. I started off heading up to the ghost town of St. Elmo, which is very cool to check out and well preserved. My understanding is that it can get rather crowded during the summer, but with my early start, I must have beat the crowds.

Day 0: The Beginning
Near the end of 2006 I had the idea to take a two week trip through Colorado, Utah and then into Wyoming & South Dakota staying off the pavement as much as I could. I decided to plan the trip for the end of July and early August so that all of the high passes in Colorado would be open. There was only one problem at that point; I didn’t have a Jeep capable of pulling off the trip. The Cherokee I had at the time, had become a dedicated rockcrawler and was no way capable of driving a couple thousand miles without being pulled on a trailer. That is not what I wanted to do on this trip.
Johnson Valley, California
Friday – Sunday, November 17-19, 2006
I spent this past weekend hanging out on a dry lake bed and four wheeling with a group of friends in Johnson Valley, California. This was my very firs trip to California and I know it won’t be my last. Since I flew in to Los Angeles, I didn’t have my own Jeep with me this time, but I did hitch some rides with my friends. There were definitely some very difficult trails there that were a lot of fun. I’d like to get my Jeep out there sometime in the future. On to the pictures!
