glad I went but don't envision going back anytime soon
I prefer HOBO just down the street.
went through Leadville on the way out and met Donut from Freedom Skate Shop in Madison

Gus was with the Wisco crew

Illya took me as his plus1 to RedRocks to see Built to Spill

Built to Spill didn't see that into it.... but I loved being at Red Rocks

to the mountains

went up to Brecknridge to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary for the Brazils

Pat & Char met us for lunch, but all the youngsters went for a ride around Dillon lake.

I was jazzed to see the lake from this vantage point.
the Breck peaks still had some snow

gravel road to Radium Hot Springs

rockies
Gore Canyon with the Colorado River running through it

looking down on the hot springs

looking up river to the East

down at the springs - lots of river traffic

the raft guides let rafters out to do this cliff jump near Radium

finger rock on the way to Steamboat Springs

after soaking at Strawberry pool, I spent a night in the mountains outside Steamboat

lots of space out there.....
