Martha joins me for camping

9/11: Never Forget, Never Forgive

Another tree has gotten a headstart on Fall Colors near my campsite:

As you can see, the Aspen near the camp remains green.

Martha joined me in the afternoon and she made dinner for Chris Z. and I as we chatted.

Chris Z. Left in the morning to go try for Cinnamon Pass near Lake City, CO with his camping rig.

It rained off and on most of the day so Martha and I just relaxed inside the VRRV.

Morning coffee:

We drove into Buena Vista after a late breakfast.  The skies were overcast and gloomy:

Some Fall Color at around 12000 ft

The farmers market was a bit small and we were done with it in less than five minutes.

I did see this nice looking Pinzgauer rig on main Street.

A brief walk up and down Main Street confirmed the touristy hipster image of this tourist trap.  The overcast cool conditions didn't stop the crowds blocking passage on sidewalks as they waited in line to get into the various venues.

We left for camp and spent the rest of the rainy day in the RV.  The sun did come out after 4PM so that was nice.

Note: hunting season started today for Bow and Black Powder.  We saw some hunters wearing brand new orange visibility hats and vests motoring past the campsite.
