Methodist Mountain

The other day, I took the family up Chaffee County Road/U.S.F.S. Road 108 up into what's locally called "The Boot" on Methodist Mountain. We opted for the BattlePatrol, my designation for the 2006 Nissan Do-Everything Pathfinder. Patrol is an homage to the Nissan Patrols of Australia and yesteryear, a real Toyota Land Cruiser fighter. At any rate, the whole area burned a new years ago in the Decker Fire, and thus had been the first time any of us had been up there since it burned. I was so happy to see all of the vegitation up there. Plants and bushes waste high. It was incredible.
