On 10/01 we continued north on 82 through Basalt and Carbondale, then headed south on 133. Stopped at Red Rock Camp and the next morning drove into little town of Marble CO. There we rented a jeep tour and drove into a lost mining town known as Crystal CO. The road was definitely a very tense, steep jeep road only, and it took us almost 3 hours to go about 10 miles. There were old jeeps and trucks that had fallen off the cliff edge, and they were still sitting there, in the riverbed way down at the bottom on our right. Sadly a few had lost their lives on that very road(trail) that we traversed. The town of Marble itself, is famous for the marble produced there at their mine. And again the miners everyday traverse a similar road just like the one we were on. Whew!
