The WWC had another successful hike around the southeast corner of the RMNP. Grace was camping at the farm site, and Di and Scotty joined her camping for eve. Ginger, Agnes and prospective member Dana joined Grace and Di, for a hike west of the “farm” in the afternoon.
The sun was bright and hot, but a fresh breeze kept us cool , and mosquitoes at bay for the first part. Later on, the clouds were threatening, and the wind quieted down, but luckily, the storm went around us, and the mosquitoes were still not bad. We kept mostly to the back road area to have the most enjoyable experience possible considering the conditions of the year, and we were not disappointed! We walked about 6-700 feet in elevation to the west, so walking eastward we took in the occasional view of the countryside. The road meanders around a ravine, and the shale slides and lush greenery create a picturesque scene.
A great way to spend a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon!
