Hello Family and Friends,
It has been awhile since I have posted, and I will try to catch you up -- we actually took this trip before North Clear Creek Falls -- but I started the other post before this one so this come up probably later.
We headed up FR 380 to see if we could metal detect along the way -- we kept driving until we reached the little town of Platoro, CO -- it was a bumpy ride and mostly overcast but it was new territory and we saw so many deer that day (probably a dozen or so) -- the best one was a mother with a tiny, tiny fawn -- if the mom wouldn't have moved we would have missed the baby tucked under her belly. I couldn't get my camera out quick enough before they hit the brush.
Here's a few other pics of the journey ---- the trail has beautiful scenery.
We still had some snow patches -- there is a pass called Elwood Pass and a cabin that I guess can be rented to stay at from the Forest Service. The road was closed to it so I guess they haven't started back up with renting sites.
This is Lake DeNolda (private) tucked away along the route. There is a lot of private land that borders the National forests and you have to watch for signs posted for private property.
We found Alamosa Canyon and there is an Alamosa River that runs through it and a past town of Stunner. Now there is a campground at Stunner.
It was a great day, a little long but a good ride. I have included a link about Platoro, CO, it is from a travel sight but gives you a good picture of the town and some history. There is a reservoir there with camping but I wouldn't want to drag Zoe up there to stay.
Hope you enjoy the post,
Sending blessing from the road,
Susan & Darrel
