Another quick van trip down to Fremont County.
Left Friday after work and went straight to Oil Well Flats. Already dark when we parked, so it was a quick hike with the dog followed by some beers in the van before turning in early. Windy AF, which would be a theme for the weekend.
Up early Saturday for a good 90 minute dog hike, then I went for an hour run. It was already pretty warm and sunny for 8AM when $100 and I tagged off on dog duty and she took off on her bike. I made some coffee and got out the guitar. Not sure how long I had been playing, but I looked out the window and it was snowing.
$100 had planned on getting in some fishing on the Arkansas, but the wind made that difficult so we just went to The Owl for lunch. So damn good.
Hung out in Canon City for a bit before heading over to Florence Brewing to waste some time. Canon seemed dead, I guess everyone had gone to the million MAGA march.
We decided to head straight up the road to Phantom Canyon to spend the night. We've both biked that road but never slept there. Great place with lots of campsites. Some more dog hiking, some more beers, and retreated to the van pretty early as the wind was still nuts.
Up early on Sunday, drove up Phantom Canyon to Victor and returned through Woodland Park, stopping for a healthy breakfast at The Donut Mill. Hard to see in this pic, but on the way up the Canyon we saw a bobcat. He seemed just as curious about us as we were towards him.
