So long to summer tour
I just got home from vacation. I haven’t been to Colorado in a couple of years so, it was overdue.
I found a place up in the Wet Mountains near Lake Isabel where I spent 3 days at 9200 feet elevation. I didn’t adjust to that very well. While there I visited Bishop Castle. I did go down to Colorado City and ran a couple of loops around Beckwith Reservoir. Pretty nice little lake. Then I went down to Pueblo and visited Weisbrod Aircraft Museum. Very cool place. Next stop, Garden of the Gods. Been there multiple times in the last 50 some years. Then on to Castle Rock. I spent a couple days there. They have a nice walking/bike/running trail there. I think eventually it will go north and connect to Denver. Yesterday I ventured up to Parker to run the So Long to Summer 5k. I ran it back in 2021. Yesterday I won my age division (60-69) and placed seventh over all. I really didn’t acclimate to the elevation but, had a blast none the less. I saw lots of cool Chevy trucks and a couple of cool ford trucks on the way out. Not so much on the way home. It rain most of my time on the road today. Although I did see this on the way home. Somewhere near Manhattan Kansas if I remember right. More pictures to come later.
