This morning was a bit chilly but the sun warmed us up fast. We took some time for ourselves; Rick likes to journal, Susan likes to putter. Around 11 we headed out to explore the roads west of here. Simon wasn’t too sure. The aspens around the campground are just stunning.
First real stop (after taking a wrong road that led to nowhere) was fishing at Dome Lake. Simon was pretty happy since he likes to “help” with the line. After several casts and no bites we gave up. Those fish are smart because we could see them.
We were about 10 miles off highway 114 and Rick wanted to ride his bike back to the road. Then he wanted to ride to the chain station at the bottom of Cochetopa pass and with only a mile to the top, off he went. Great ride with challenging winds.
Now it was Susan’s turn to ride down the pass and back to camp. Really windy and scary at times with big trucks passing and not a lot of shoulder. But she made it and we both spent the rest of the day relaxing at camp. We’ll probably sleep well again tonight.
