CARBONDALE

While camping near Carbondale we got a lot of constant rain - very uncharacteristic of Colorado. It rained most of the weekend so we were fortunate to have a dry tent. It did make for some interesting race conditions, but this little fellow didn't seem to mind at all.



One morning the clouds were cradled up against the mountains.



I loved this little farm nestled in the valley.



At the Independence Pass the willows were beginning to push through the snow to bud. What a rough winter they must have had!

THE MICKELSON TRAIL: DAY 1

After work we drove up to the Black Hills just outside of Edgemont to find a quick camp spot so we could start the Mickelson Trail bright and early.  The plan: ride, and see new things.  Camp the first night under a nearly full Super Moon.  The start of the Mickelson.  Fully loaded and ready to roll.  The trail quickly separates from any roads and leads into the Black Hills.  As we neared Custer there was more and more exposed granite.  The November sun was casting long shadows.  Taking it all in. We had planned to camp out each night, but the weather was a solid 10 degrees colder than we had planned. So after riding to the top of the climb to the north of Hill City we made the wise decision to turn around and head back into town and get a hotel room.
