Book excerpt: Years ago, the reputation of 4X4 roads in the San Juan Mountains was enough to keep many people away. Their names were whispered around campfires, like the names of gunslingers who once lived in their midst."Bat Masterson ... Butch Cassidy ... Kid Curry ....""Black Bear Road ... Engineer Pass ... Imogene Pass ...."To conquer these roads is to beat Bat Masterson at poker, out-fox Butch Cassidy, or to out-draw Kid Curry. To conquer these roads is to conquer a legend.The days when reality and reputation shared equal footing have come and gone. Just as the gunslingers grew old and mellowed out, so did the 4x4 roads. That's not to say you can't get into trouble with these old timers. Never take them lightly. If you're caught off-guard, they can kill you as surely as Bat Masterson's gun. On the other hand, any stock 4X4 with a confident and experienced driver can handle the legends in this book without giving them much thought.But what of the legends? Why are they legends?"Welcome to Volume Three of Pass Patrol Recollections, 4WD Roads & San Juan Ghost Towns."This book recalls the stories that were told in Volume Three of the Adventures of Pass Patrol written during the 1990s. Pass Patrol traveled the legends of the San Juan Mountains. Larry E Heck wrote about their adventures and published guide books for others to follow. Although the original series has faded into history, its stories are still being told around campfires and are now retold in Pass Patrol Recollections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year thousands of people journey to see what still exists from the fascinating gold rush days. The San Juan mountain region is full of mining camps, ghost towns, mills and other mining structures that were centers of activity over a century ago. Every settlement has its own special history that was molded by its industrious and dedicated people. Prospectors headed to the mountains motivated by their dreams. As gold strikes were made, communities popped up as tent cities. Gradually the tents were replaced by log cabins. When a sawmill was completed, frame structures were built. Stores with massive false fronts were erected shoulder-to-shoulder. Many towns have withstood the test of time while others are in various stages of decay. To tour these sites is exhilarating. The flapping shutters and creaking boards will amplify your imagination. So should this book.
