Thanks so much for the nice comments. If I had one wish it would be that
there was a bit more fall color in the trees, but the color of the grasses
and the other ground plants was nice, especially on the walk around the loop
trail when it was raining the first afternoon.
The ranch is still on the road, and from the cars and people I would say it
is doing fine. Did not know the name or if the name is the same as you
said, but at least some business is there and is busy.
When we left Aspen, we headed south over Independence Pass. That is 12K
feet plus. The highest I have ever been with my feet on the ground. It was
cool and windy with a bit of fresh snow along the road. We "hiked" out to
the view point and it was a huff and puff even though it was not much of a
hill. And we are in pretty good shape for our ages. I'll post a shot or
two from there, but not that great.

Was hoping you'd post those. You definitely lucked out. I've only seen a few
which were any better and they are from locals with Hassy and Linhof who
could hop in the car when the light was perfect. These are better than
99.99% of what's out there.
Haven't been in years but hope T-Lazy-7 Ranch on that road is still doing
fine. Nothing else out there on that road which goes nowhere but a great
view in all seasons. All the other roads lead to 12,000' - 13,000' passes
but you need a very serious 4x4 to get past 10,000'. Pity Aspen has gotten
so expensive; all the locals I know had to move to Basalt or Carbondale and
commute in.

Some shots from the morning after a rainy day in Aspen. We camped half way
up to the top, and then got up early for some shot. We lucked out as the
storm was clearing and there were a few clouds and some fresh snow in the
upper elevations. Not a lot of fall color when we were there, but a nice
place.
Actually, this first shot is from the day before when the peaks were hidden
in the rain clouds.
