    Actually made it up to Moffat Tunnel on Monday, as I had hoped to.
    Beautiful weather the entire time! Traces of snow, until road blocked by deep snow.
    Estimated at about 10,000 foot elevation. For those interested, a correct viewing order
    of video taken of the entire trip!
    Starting as I approach Rollinsville, to the time i leave Rollinsville.
    Unfortunately, camera does NOT show had severe the Rollins Pass grade really is!!
    Watch hood to truck, for an idea!! Turning Image Stabilization OFF on next run!
    7 videos, just under 2 hours total time.

    Seems like a fair number of vehicles on that road. Are there many residents? Or just tourists and sportsmen?

    Tourists and sportsmen and weekend campers.
    Only residents are those that live, part time? at Tolland
    and those in Rollinsville.
