Great trip had with friends Steve and Kim to inaugurate their newly purchased jeep. We picked a good day with lovely weather and almost no people. Crystal Mill is quite the tourist attraction and it can be somewhat of a zoo.
Great barbecue as usual |
Always a fun trip to see the tiny town of Marble (famous for their marble that is the Lincoln Memorial and Tomb of the Unknown Soldier) and the very photographed Crystal Mill. It's a medium in difficulty jeep ride up to the mill and we wandered around the general store and surrounds. Mark instructed our friend Steve in fly fishing and he had great beginner success. A pile of brookies were caught and taken home for dinner. I believe there is much fly fishing and jeeping in their future.
Beautiful drive and breathtaking peaks. It's worth the two hr drive over.
Last but not least, a moose sighting on the way home - first this summer. A good size female on Ohio Pass. She pretty much ignored those of us who jumped out of cars to take photos.
