Quick postscript to a long day.
Drove up to Leadville this morning to scout Christmas tree possibilities in the San Isabel’s. Found two, marked them and drove home.
The Collegiate Peaks were, as always, an astonishing sight. Mount Princeton is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful mountains in the country—with or without snow.
Good day for wildlife watching. Must have seen forty deer, and a herd of at least eighty pronghorn. All in all a fun, but tiring day. The Arkansas was running clear and hard, and made me wish I’d had time to fish. The same seeing Clear Creek. Maybe next summer, right? Love to get J up there for a day.
Home late. Hoped to get the pickup in the shop for some new tires. Guess it’ll have to wait until tomorrow.
