![]() ![]() At Pike's Peak the road was closed half way up,snow plows wrkng on it. Bout an hour later they opened to the top. Got to top,wind blowing30to40mph temp was28deg,my hands knees feet frozen, ran into concession store and wraped my hands round coffee cup. 20 minutes later they tell everyone they are closing down the mount. we have to all leave!! Didn't want to be caught behind a bunch of slow sightseers in cozy cars so off I went! By the time I got bout half way down I was a popsicle and knew I was in trouble. Pulled off of road,yanked off gloves and put hands on exhaust pipes. Guess what, NO HEAT ON pipes!! A guy in a pickup truck waved me over to get in and warm up. THANK YOU JESUS!! I had been to top b4 in car and knew it was cold so I was fully wrapped up,layers of clothes,insulated face mask,insulated overhauls,thick gloves,ect.. I think I'll wait till July next time. Was so cold didn't take a single pic from the mount. Just another reason to do it again!! |
