Rocky Mountain Vintage Hot Rod run

[englishrodder]

Had a fantastic day out today, I was invited by a load of local rodders on a driving Rod Run through the mountains.
This was only for Vintage Rods, In total we had 22 cars for the Drive up.

We started in Evergreen Lake which is about 1 hour south of me, a nice drive by the foothills of the mountains to meet up - starting at about 6'000 feet above sea level

We were at just under 11'000 feet then, the road to Mt Evans was still closed due to snow - thats some 14,600 feet!

This is Lookout Mountain looking back down towards Denver

That's what i'm talking bout! You lucky devil, looks like a good time you had there. Good to see cars being driven instead of just standing around. Nice pics, thanks for posting.

Yeah, it was about a 120mile drive. One of the best days I've had for a long time.
