Silverton's 4x4 Roads
Poughkeepsie Gulch & Corkscrew Pass Roads

Back at the intersection, I found a family standing outside their car, and pointing.  They had spotted a fox, or more accurately, the fox had spotted a potential easy meal.

Now, you're not supposed to feed the wildlife, so I want to make it clear, I'm not the one who gave this critter a slice of bread.  But I'm glad the other family did, because it kept the fox around long enough for me to snap a few good pictures.

After the snack, the fox wandered away, up the mountainside, all the while keeping a close eye on the humans who were watching him.

The trip back revealed more amazing scenery.  I took this shot directly above Lake Como (you can see the edge of it at the bottom of the frame).  If you look closely, you'll also see my rear-view mirror in the corner, which tells you I shot this out the passenger-side window.

Even in August, this huge snow drift still stands as a testament to the rough San Juan winters.
