I pulled off US 40 to use a roadside outhouse and found myself looking down onto a frozen Wolford Mountain Reservoir.
Colorado winters make cars very dirty.

Berthoud Pass in the Snow
On my way west to Oregon, I decided to take US 40 through northern Colorado. To go over the Continental Divide, I had to drive up and over Berthoud Pass. This photo is looking generally north in the direction of Rocky Mountain National Park.
Berthoud Pass sits at 11,307 feet above sea level.
There are those big Rocky Mountains in the distance.
The mountain to the east of Berthoud Pass has what looks to be a large telecommunications complex on the summit. It appears to be mostly a microwave facility.
Just like on Loveland Pass, Berthoud pass has the traditional back country skier warning signs about long range weaponry.

New Furniture in my Office
I have some new furniture in my office. I installed some low book cases with a few drawers and cupboards on the north wall.
I also got a new couch and some tall book cases with doors.
The far left book case has display lights. As I unpack more of my things, I will put interesting objects inside to display. Right now, I have a student project in the bottom and a book about statistics in the middle display areas.
