So this morning...I am going to upload my two images, open & open with a third image that goes along with them..... I thought Id send a message of encouragement and A CHALLENGE!!!! This is my little buggy after a day of exploring roads less traveled...new roads Id never been down, in Crested Butte, Colorado; roads that were dirt, unpaved, muddy, but where I uncovered spectacular scenery... I am throwing out a challenge on all the sites I upload to...to suggest to photographers from around the word, to wonder into an area of your provinces or state that you have never been to; a challenge to turn down a road where you see a forest service sign or historic area sign that you have never ventured down. Take a maintained 4 x 4 road (if you have the right vehicle) that youve never been down... get out of your own way, and explore something that is OUT of your way, out of your normal boundaries, GET OUT & CHALLENGE YOURSELF......the two images here I have uploaded before....but I wanted to show you where I had to go, off the beaten path to get to these spots.... Both of these images, were taken within 1/4 mile of one another, on a dirt road...I drove 15 mph cause it was raining on and off and a little slick...I took a bear whistle & spray...water, had a spare tire just in case...took a few granola bars, blankets....lots of film cards...let a friend know where I was going and when I would return cause I was out of cell reception, and even let the local fire department know there would be a single woman out of a forest service road just to be extra cautious.... turned out I saw LOTS of single woman on this dirt road doing the same thing I was.....photographing and taking in the scenery!! By the way I was literally covered in mud, when I went to the car wash to get the mud out from the wheel well areas....it was so caked on, I had to get up close with the sprayer and it kicked tons of mud on my face, in my hair, on my clothes....I just LAUGHED!!! Encourage you to do the same....it washes off!!!
