A different "hike" opened our autumnal season. An dozen took a leisurely ride in comfortable cars and only three people used the steering devices and accelerators. The rest selected places to stop to enjoy the most colorful element in "Colorful Colorado."
As was stated in my car: "We are very fortunate to live among this stunning beauty"; "I'm so glad I stayed long enough to see this." The multiple colors of Platoro aspen, backed by beautiful mountains and deep blue water, stirred souls and activated camera shutters. Our pictures of this special part of Colorado will decorate many messages and computers for a long time.
Lunch at Skyline Lodge seemed to satisfy our unstressed energy centers.
Thanks to Barbara Pankhurst for joining us just before departing for Longview, TX. We also enjoyed having Ozzie and Eve with us again.
Next week please join one of the other hikes (Monday and Thursday at 9 a.m.) or lead one of your own. --
