No luck yet finding the slide taken at CRRM, but here's a photo of CA GOOSE 2 taken at the SP&S bridge over the Deschutes River gorge north of Bend, Oregon:
The Colorado bumper sticker says "SEMI-NATIVE" which, as a graduate of Colorado College and former resident of To-Hell-You-Ride, I might have been barely qualified to display. "GOOSE 2" lived in Telluride, too, but was still in her factory maroon-and-cream paint at the time.
