Thursday, September 18
Sunny and mild afternoon....rode BLM route 6025 till chickening out due to steep stony conditions along a single track trail. Once I got back to the trailhead I headed out on BLM route 6040 about 3.5 mile when again; stony steep conditions got too technical for me.
Here's the point where I turned around:
A couple of views while walking around near my campsite:
Friday, September 19
I mostly relaxed throughout the day.
Watched a group of dirt bikes and small atvs ride back and forth at a nice sedate/quiet pace.
Saw one 5th wheel, 1 travel trailer, one large enclosed trailer, multiple ATVs and 1 car head deeper in on route 6040.
Around 4PM I discovered that my selfie stick/tripod was missing. Searched the RV and campsite with no luck. Realized that it had probably worked its way out of the saddle bag while riding the trail yesterday. Dammit.
Did a retrace ride but no luck in fading light so returned to camp to order another one from Amazon.
My fault, I should have used a dummy cord on the darn thing.

Found the tripod! I had retraced the ride again this morning, and I spotted this on the way back to camp:
More traffic coming in around noon:
Throughout the day I saw trucks towing trailered OHVs, dirt bikes in the morning, several small ATVs. Did see two large OHV SxS being towed in and I dread their usual noise levels.
Later: I was right, the two large SXS rigs were seen ripping up and down the main trail, loud music blasting and generally being annoying ass wipes. Fortunately, they're not staying anywhere near me.
Pretty warm day here at 6329 ft altitude and 74°F. This area is part of the "banana belt" of Colorado, warmer than the rest of the state in Winter. Sunny conditions help of course.
