Nine hikers saw a spectacularly attractive Continental Divide Trail segment from Lobo Point to a little lake right on the Cont. Divide. We enjoyed abundant flowers, green grass, sunshine (the predicted noon-time rain neither precipitated nor thundered except far off to the East). No one even complained about the Spruce bark beetle kill by Dendroctonus engelmannii. Lunch at the lake and a rather sprightly return led some people down to the highway at Wolf Creek Pass, while others rode the cars down from Lobo Point.
We've enjoyed the positive participation of Berdelle Johnson, Rob Barlow, and Wendy Pickering during their stays in South Fork. They head for home or other places over the next few days. Bon voyage! We look forward to your return to our simple practice of regular walking through God's gardens.
Next Tuesday those of you who feel that you've properly prepared for a steep mountain climb (no ropes needed), will start out early in the morning at the base of Mt. Elbert..
I'll send you a separate message about the Mt. Elbert hike later tonight.
