    C.W. McCall - Wolf Creek Pass
 
<sorry, vallor!>

I've been over Wolf Creek a couple of times but it wasn't that dramatic
but the truck had a Jake brake. Some truckers that primarily run in the
east don't and they have a lot more fun with the passes in the west.

The last time I was in a passenger car and I was going to stop and hike a
little on the Continental Divide trail. Maybe the rhododendrons were
blooming in the Breaks Interstate Park on the Kentucky/Virginia border but
it was still winter on the pass and I didn't have snowshoes. When I got
down to the Forest Service campground outside of Pagosa Springs it was
springtime again.
