Taylor Park, CO 2012

"There was a "brake check" station on the way down. A ranger shot a temperature measurement with a laser thermometer. If your brakes were too hot, you had to pull over and let them cool down...Conveniently, right next to a gift shop!!! What a coincidence!"

When we where there in "07, I stopped and the woman shot the thermometer at the front of my truck. If I remember right it was only like 120*. She wanted to know how I kept it so cool coming down the mountain. I said years of truck driving experience and engine braking on the truck.


Enjoyed the write up and the Pictures. Some of the pictures brought back memories of our trip back in 2002.

How many rolls did you catch at Lambert's Cafe

Seen their video on the Travel Channel before. Neat.

I caught 2. Coral caught 1 and had one bounce off her hands and land on the table. You could make a meal from just the rolls. Maybe not so healthy, but mmm-mmm-good!

I've been stopping there since the late 1980s. It's changed a lot over the years. Always "touristy" it now reminds me a bit of a Cracker Barrel. Too Bad! Still I'll stop back when I can.

Excellent report as always, TW.

Humor, pics and jealousy.

Thanks for all the time you spent sharing your trip with us.
