Woke to temperatures in the mid to high 30s. A bit brisk but OK after I turned on the catalytic propane heater.
I ended up mostly hanging out at the camp in the morning. I did ride out in the afternoon to check out the rock climbing areas. Several campsites nearby these rock climbs too, but a bit crowded in for my taste.

It was a few degrees colder when I woke this morning, which made up my mind about displacing to warmer locations. Such as the BLM Dispersed camping area south of Poncha Pass, near Salida, CO.
Decision made, I was packed up and heading into town by 10AM, got the tanks dumped and took on water by 11AM and by 1230 or so was choosing a site to camp at. I tried the usual spot but found it hard to get the rig leveled, so I went up hill a bit and got a snug little spot instead.
I may have arrived at the area at the beginning of the tail end of the Fall Colors. Here's a few show of it near the campsite within the BLM area. I think I'll try and check out the Fall Colors along nearby Marshall Pass tomorrow.

Looks like you are finding the solitude among the fading aspen that you enjoy. Next step further south to NM?
I don't think so, CCjon, Yagi's no spark issue has returned. I am wanting to be at home anyways by the elections.
While your fall colours are in full force we are still getting too warm temps and leaves haven't changed much yet. Enjoy leaf peeping, Dom. Cheers, SonjaM
They're really past prime....I expect to see bare trees soon.
