In front of the train station, we found this giant boot.

  • In front of the train station, we found this giant boot.
  • Nearby was this excellent mechanical horse - we have lots of these in our MINIs...
  • This iconic building reminds me of Levis facilities...
  • This could have been any one of us, here at the morning get-together, as we return from our hotels to get fired up for a new day.
  • These two were in the clothing store that was opened up so we could do some local-flavored shopping. Apparently Miss Frontier Days (from the celebration just beginning) had parked _her_ MINI out front.
  • Breakfast at the hotel - getting ready to hit the road...

  • Here's Fenton, stopped at Buford, WY (Population 1, Elevation 8000 feet) having gone into limp mode again - unable to keep up with the trucks on I-80 at the summit. Next to him is good buddy Kowalski.
  • Kyle Conner's Kowalski dropped in (a welcome addition) and stayed with us as we got set up with MINI to be taken to Loveland, CO for a possible repair.
  • Fenton, taking the slow boat to the dealership...

  • An extensive search for a replacement turbo, helped by Claude Bruni of MINI, resulted in the immediate start of a replacement procedure...

  • Overnight in Loveland, this is our usual evening arrangement, cameras, computer, editing the days images and getting everything backed up...
