Scanning old slides.

[eemsreno]

With winter here I have been scanning some of our old slides. I am very blessed to have a wife and kids that likes to ride and we went on a lot of trips as they were growing up. Some of these slides are up to 30 years old and it's funny to see the old bikes we rode. We always camped and sometimes lots of friends and family would meet us on trips.
A lot of the riding took place with no helmets so no need to lecture on that. My wife said she is just sightseeing so no helmet needed. She was and is a great rider so I was never worried about it.

Great camping places.












I'm not sure of how many pictures can be in one post so I will put them up in batches.

Lots of family would show up and most all of them had bikes.


Some of our friends started coming and some made it yearly.
Clint and Jade and their boys. Clint and Jade now have a Super Tenere.


Some of my friends started making an extra trip to Colorado each year just for a few days of riding with just us guys.
I don't know how many times I have been on trips with these guys.

Marble, Colorado was one of our favorite family places as the kids were little.
I think that I have been over Schofield Pass at least 8 times. It is one of Colorado's great passes.

A side loop off of Schofield Pass is Lead King Loop. It is so pretty we rode around it many times.

We also spent a lot of time riding Taylor Park. A very popular place to ride.
















Pearl Pass, probably the Prettiest pass in Colorado.

This is the Iron Chest Mine up above St. Elmo, Colorado.


I lke this shot on the way back down from Iron Chest.


One time Eric and I tried riding the 4X4 up Mt. Blanca. we got stopped at a place that required winching.


Once we rode up to Holy Cross City. This is one of Colorado's toughest jeep trails

Looks like you and your family had some rather epic trips and adventures through the years.
Priceless memories for all of you for sure!

Those are some fantastic pictures of fantastic memories sir. We were discussing bicycle helmets just the other day. How we never used them as kids, but made our kids wear them. Of course, I'm not sure they made them when I was kid.

 

[Boris]

Loads of great photos there, lot of happiness evident throughout. No doubt lots of great memories and emotions for you going through them.

Thanks for sharing.

I probable scanned 2,000 slides, these just a small sample. I also have some crazy story's from things that happened out on our trips. You can probably imagine some of the craziness with that many people riding out there.
