Cottonwood Pass
Buena Vista
We
We drove up to see the Continental Divide at Cottonwood Pass, only 20 miles from Buena Vista. The road was steep with lots of hairpin turns, and we were glad we were not pulling our 5th wheel. The two lane road is paved up to the top, and we did see some trailers being towed but they were small ones.
The view is quite spectacular -- we had a great view of the Sawatch Range.
In the third picture you can see part of the road that we drove up, and in the corner you can see a bit of snow. Even though it was a sunny day in August, it was cold and windy at the pass. We'll return some other day when we are better dressed to hike a little on one of the trails. The elevation at the parking lot is 12,125 ft, and you can get up to 12,824 ft on the trails.
And of course I had to take a "tourist photo" of Doug in front of the Continental Divide sign.

You guys changed our lives when you showed up at Chatfield State Park with your tricycles. We shopped trikes at Chip's place, north of Denver, at the Hostel shoppe in Stevens Point Wisconsin, at the Bicycle Man in New York, at RBR in Pennsylvania, and Mt. Airy Bicycles in Maryland. We wound up with a Trice T and an HPV Scorpion. We broke them in by spending ten idyllic days riding them on the Pine Creek Trail in "the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania." You can see pictures here: http://wherearecharlieandtoni.blogspot.com/
Never would have happened if we hadn't met you. Thanks a ton. Hope you're doing well.
Just checking on you guys - it's been so long since you've posted. I hope all is well.
August 11 was a long time ago. How are things going?
WILL A NONBELIEVERS BAPTISM WASH AWAY SINS? BY STEVE FINNELL
Do nonbelievers receive forgiveness from sins when they are baptized in water?
If atheists and other nonbelievers are baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit do they receive forgiveness from sins? Of course not.
John 8:24 Therefore, I said to you, Your will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.(TBVOTNT)
Water baptism alone does not wash away sins. Nonbelievers will die in their sins.
Mark 16:16 He who has believed, and has been immersed, will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.(TBVOTNT)
Nonbelievers will be condemned.
Acts 3:19 Repent, therefore, and turn again, in order that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come seasons of refreshment from the presence of the Lord; (TBVOTNT)
Water baptism that is not preceded by repentance is meaningless. There is no forgiveness without repentance. Repentance means to change from unbelief to belief. Repentance means to make a commitment to turn from sin and turn toward God.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, Let each one of you repent and be immersed, in the name of Jesus Christ, in order to the remission of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.(TBVOTNT)
Atheists and other nonbelievers do not have their sins washed away by being immersed in water.
Newborn babies and small children do not have their sins washed away by being immersed in water. Why? First they have not committed any sins and they are not guilty of sin. Second, if they were guilty of sin they are incapable of believing in Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Jesus did not know good from evil as a small child and neither do newborn children know right from wrong. Babies are not sinners, nor are they guilty of sin.
Isaiah 7:14-16"Therefore the Lord Himself will give a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. 15 "Curds and honey He shall eat, that He may know to refuse the evil and choose the good. 16 "For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose good, the land that you dread will be forsaken by both her kings.(NKJV)
There is an age of accountability.
THERE WERE NO UNBELIEVERS BAPTIZED ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST NOR DID THE APOSTLES EVER BAPTIZE UNBELIEVERS.
