Gonna hit the nearby hiking trails, Ghost Town of Saint Elmo, Hot Springs 

That creek that is basically on your right as you take the drive up to Saint Elmo is full of hungry trout.

Cottonwood Lake USFS campground on Cottonwood Pass, near Buena Vista, Co

3.5 miles of miserable washboard dirt road , nice campground, no water available as the well has been broken over 5 years with no plan to repair 🤔

 

 

campground is all FCFS and fills up Friday mornings 

too much dust with folks driving 25 mph in a 5 mph campground 

 

One pic in Leadville, Co

I'd bet that you are no longer in the Leadville area - but - there is a coffee shop directly across the street from City Hall that has very good pastries and coffee.  Plus, they have free WiFi.

Would recommend that spot for Pizza

Chilling at Lottis Creek Campground in the Gunnison National Forest

listed my canvas wall tent on the FB marketplace in Gunnison, Crested Butte and Buena Vista

its my emotional support tent 😢

Sold my emotional support tent to an outfitter 🙁🙁🙁

It was painful but the funds can go toward the Alcan upgrade

 

where is everyone?

we hiked some Crested Butte and Gothic Colorado trails today and the mountain flowers are just starting to bloom,

July is the big blooming season they say

Crested Butte is the Saint Moritiz of Colorado

This is in the beautiful US Choctaw Lake NF campground, located in central Mississippi. It is full of songbirds, lush and lovely.

Yes it is! Great fishing if you are so inclined. And not far away there are some sights to see. https://www.visitutah.com/articles/dinosaur-national-monument-flaming-gorge
