Pano of sun rising
This is the first morning since we have been in this area that the sun wasn't covered in clouds. We finally got a pretty picture of the sunrise. Or, I should say Lauren did, I looked out the window and went back to sleep.
George and Lisa pulled out around 6:30 am heading home. We really enjoyed our time with them.
We waited for it to warm up this morning before leaving on the Harley. It was 63 degrees and sunny when we left at 11 am. The ride to Lake City was beautiful, then we started up to Spring Creek Pass. We went up in elevation 2,859 feet to Slumgullion Summit. It was 55 degrees, cloudy and cold
We had a nice picnic lunch at the North Clear Creek Falls, even though it was still cloudy and cold.
We heard there were moose sightings at the Lake San Cristobal Overlook. We stopped, we looked, no moose sighting for us today. But it is a pretty view.
We saw prairie dogs, a deer, a marmot, and 2 young coyotes.
It was a lot more enjoyable ride coming back across the summit when the sun came out. It was 77 degrees when we returned to camp. We got back, did a few chores, then sat around watching for wildlife. All we saw were birds.
Tonight we grilled pork chops while enjoying the warmth of our camp fire.
We have been on the road for 20 wonderful days. Our Heat Escape has been successful!
