    Decided to go on short ride with "the professor".
    He separated a collar bone skiing in January, so wanted a short ride to see how it would fare..
    Quick spin up to Webster pass to see if the rumors might be true that the snow on back side may not melt till Sept.
    Parked at Peru creek trailhead. just below Montezuma. had some one that wanted to make sure we unloaded the bikes correctly.

    right before we left some unthinking off roaders , decided to just pull up on the tundra rather than parking on the very wide spot in the road and saddle of the pass. There was room for maybe 10 jeeps yet they decided to use the tundra instead. Must have been ignorance or lack of oxygen.... you decide....
