Boondocking at Twin Lakes Reservoir

Martha and I displaced from the spot on County 305 where I'd been for 12 days.

After dumping tanks and taking on water in Buena Vista it was a short drive to Colorado Highway 82 to Twin Lakes, Colorado. 

I decided to check out some dispersed camping area then after a bit we thought we found the right spot: 

After lunch, we went for a short one to check out the shoreline of the reservoir. 

There is Fall Color beginning to show in the immediate area.

After a short walk on the Interlaken Trail, we decided to detour off it to check out the sandy shores.

Mount Elbert, Colorado's

Highest Fourteener.

As we neared camp, we spotted a better campsite and bonus, the campers already there were leaving!

After a brief discussion, we walked back to our campsite and did a hasty displacement.

I guess walking does have it's uses eh?  There's a lot of sites in the area, good cell signal for Internet access and not too crowded.

Here's the new site:

Not too bad a site eh?  You can see the trailhead parking lot from the site and fishermen apparently use the area for fishing.

We're at 9209 ft, so a little higher than the previous campsite.

We hope to drive to Independence Pass tomorrow.

Tonight's sunset was pretty good.
