Let’s take a drive….Colorado Day 12

June 17, 2012

Once again, it’s a drive on a dirt road up a mountain. It was a one way road with a lot of switchbacks, but the road was in great condition. No flat tires or dislocated bones. And I have ZERO pictures because I was driving and it was dusty. Sort of like this …

Today is hiking and another trip to town for coffee. It’s a long story. After the crazy hike on Monday, today was supposed to be an “easy 3”. We were toast after the first hour. The elevation wasn’t that bad, 1,300ft but about halfway up, we decided to call it a day and …

Today was a restful day touring the town. Yesterday, we drove through it to get to the climbing start so we thought we would rest the legs and enjoy the town. This guy was training the little dog in the town park. The dog was following every instruction and cue from …
