I thought I would share my photos from the adventure yesterday. A good friend and I decided to go out exploring and head west to Mosquito Pass. The 2008 Ford Edge AWD did pretty good considering that it is by no means a 4x4. Now I wish for a Jeep more and more to tackle this stuff or a Dual Sport with more leaning towards off-roadablity.
This is where we decided to stop and hike up, we were about 2 miles out from the Pass. I tell you hiking at and above tree line sucks. We only made it as far as the mine due to snow, plus bad weather started to move in and we wanted to get down ASAP and not get caught in freezing rain or have the road turn to shit.
This water was running down and washing down the roadway. One reason we parked and hiked, I did not feel like the street tires were up for this. It would of did it, but it be some slow going.
Here is a picture of a section of the roadway.
We made it up to the old mine. Although we had to crawl over a snow drift that was still blocking the Pass.
More pictures of the mine, and area.
