snow fell. The South Fork landscape shown bright white with signs of more snow coming.
Five of us enjoyed a long interval without snow, with intermittent
warming sunshine. We ambled up and across and down the lower slopes of Sentinel Mountain, from Hwy 160 to Ponderosa Drive.
The glimpses of Del Norte Peak and Beaver Mountain, South Fork Center and the Rio Grande Club, plus the Rio Grande, the rocks and trees reveal the essence of our community.
This slight separation from, yet proximity to, "civilization" offers new perspectives and appreciation of our town and the Rio Grande National Forest.We are privileged to live here.
Next Monday we'll shift from Tuesday to Monday, what with ski season
getting under way.Pat Fluck will meet all comers, whatever the weather, at 8:50 a.m. at the South Fork Visitor Center.She has a couple of options in mind that will be governed by the weather. If the snow on the ground is a foot or more deep, bring your snowshoes. Otherwise, hiking boots will do well.
Remember, Monday, Nov. 15.No sense in being timid! We had a great time today!
