<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>There are things to see along the trails. Here are a few additional things I saw along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>There was a female moose near the beaver pond shown above, but she disappeared into the brush before I could get my camera out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I took a drive over Boreas Pass as I try to do every year I am in Colorado. (Pam’s mother’s ashes are spread at the top of the pass.) This year construction work limited access to the old section house but I was able to hike around the area a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/a><\/a>Back at the lot there were a few changes. I acquired a table and chairs for outdoor dining. Take a look at these photos taken around The Lot.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>The only real problem I encountered was a stoppage on Hwy 285 leaving Fairplay. It turns out a Class-A RV had caught fire, closing the road for what felt like a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/a>In general news, there have been at least 3 new houses in the area over the last year, including a new dome home going in right now. This place is just down and around the curve from Sanderling Court.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nAlthough the weather had been dry, I was able to get a campfire permit and enjoyed an evening fire a couple of times. <\/p>\n\n\n
<\/a>I cut a few dead trees, started a new brush pile, and cut some firewood. My main emphasis this time was not to do a lot of work on The Lot, but to enjoy getting out on the ATV trails and the cooler weather provided by the high country. I enjoyed the trip!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s it for now. Thanks for looking in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Per usual when Himself is on “vacay,” I paint. This time it was finishing detail painting in the second floor bathroom and continuing to work on detail painting on the front\/wrap around porch. One project finished, one project ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oops, the main floor bathroom sink [stopper and drain] finally died. The pre-purchase house inspection report from five years ago mentioned issues with that sink, but we’ve had bigger fish to fry. The local plumbing shop responded quickly and new parts were installed forthwith. No more leaking, no more inadequate drainage. Works well for the first time since we moved in.<\/p>\n\n\n
