| A doe at rest in our woods (before the cows plopped in) |
The cows are in and our gates are closed. Good thing as they've already wandered up our way. The cowboys were herding them this way and that - something different this year, they brought in water tanks placed at strategic points around Star Mt. Way too dry around here, I'm thinking of doing a rain dance soon.
Our houseguest, Gail, is here and instantly fun (and silly) things are going on. Her one way car rental has turned into a two way rental, due to the fact that her rental car company does not exist in Gunnison (naturally- crazy town), and we couldn't even park in normal parking at the airport to find out what was going on, since they had repaved and striped the parking lot. Ah, 10 days ago and still closed, we're nothing if not progressive here...
Tried to make it up to Emerald Lake and beyond - road closed. Can't imagine what that's about. Usually it's all about high snow there, definitely not the case this year... Made the best of plan B of course. The ride was beautiful on the way up anyway, and had to show Gail the bustling town of Crested Butte. Boy, was it hopping today. There's a chainless bike race happening late this afternoon - one in which crowds gather to see the victims crash at the end into columns of tires lined up on the road. Crazy costumes and strange looking bikes were everywhere. The end of race is in front of Secret Stash, by the way. Had lunch there - fun and good pizza as usual.
Fast and furious weekend as both Mark and Gail are leaving Sunday early. We'll see what we can cram in.
