I left Valley View a bit early upon getting a tip about a
"good" skatepark in the town of Saguache only 14 miles away.
 |
| never ceases to amaze me what non skaters think is a GOOD skatepark |
 |
| lonesome skates |
 |
| I bedded down on a lonely dirt road between Saguache & Gunnison |
 |
| up early and the sun was shining |
 |
| windy road through canyons before Gunnison |
 |
| a quick skate at the new Gunnison Skatepark |
 |
| the drive from Gunnison to Crested Butte |
 |
| I planned to meet an old high school pal, Megan, at the skatepark |
 |
| the plaque on the bowl |
 |
| Megan and her youngest daredevil Alexey |
Megan and I had some classes together junior & senior years at KMC. I specifically remember squeezing her thick pigtails when I would sit behind her in math class. I lost track of her right after graduation and a few years ago inquired about her to my KMC connection, Julie F. Julie wasn't sure about her whereabouts. Then a few months ago, Julie sends me this link!
 |
| wasn't long before Alexey was yearning for the big terrain |
 |
| walked to her truck to visit a jobsite and peeked in on some past work |
 |
| up into the hills to check on a job |
 |
| quick stop at Lake Irwin |
 |
| how is that for picturesque? |
 |
| the movie house from Mountain Swiss Family Robinson |
 |
| last years work |
 |
| Alexey & I went on a mission to the treehouse while mom was working |
 |
| wild flower shot for Dr Vine |
 |
| I couldn't believe my good fortune when Megan fired up the bobcat! |
 |
| she's right at home behind the controls |
 |
| trapped |
 |
| getting a little help from a friend |
 |
| the smile of freedom |
 |
| coming down off the mountain back into town |
 |
| the little guy was out cold |
Megan dropped me off at the skatepark & after hugs, I vowed to return in 2015 for a longer visit.
