Biker395 -- I'm wondering if you've had the opportunity this past autumn to get back up there, again, for some rides. As the summer season fades, there's a wonderful quality to the light that starts to become the norm, particularly on cooler, crisp mornings. That amazing deeper blue to the sky, the austere landscape (as the plants slow down or 'die' back), etc.
Got any new pics, by the way? Can't get enough of that region.
