8-30-16 - Heat Escape - Day 19

                                                         
                                                                  Good Morning

 We started the day off with a great breakfast on this beautiful morning. Now it's time for a ride. We left around 11 am, it was sunny and 57 degrees.  It was a great day for a ride.

We got in a light rain when we were on Monarch Pass. We stopped and shopped at the summit, then continued on to Poncho Springs (Crossroads of the Rockies) and had a picnic lunch.

The ride back was along Hwy 285 to Saquach then Hwy 114 over the  North Cochetopa Pass and then back to camp.  We had the rain gear on and off most of the ride but luckily never got much rain.




                     We saw several deer, a young coyote, and a herd of big horn sheep today.

It was 73 degrees when we returned to camp.  We sat in the shade for a little while, then the temperatures started dropping.  We built a nice campfire, and cooked bream that Clyde, Sherry, Lauren, and I had caught a few months ago.  Man, those fish were good.

                                                                   Goodnight
