A view of the campsite from the higher bank of the creek site alongside which I am camping:
There's some fall colors right here at the campsite, which was surprising in terms of how late in the season it is:
I took a drive the 14 miles or so to the Caballo Lake State Park, to see what there was to see.
The lake, formed by the Caballo Dam/Reservoir was empty of boat traffic and the three campgrounds I saw within the park system were perhaps only 10% occupied.
Not much to say about the water scenes:
An unexpected bonus however, were the splashes of Fall Colors in the trees near the waterside. Apparently, the trees are either Quaking Aspen or Cottonwoods acco6yo Google Lens.
Of course, no regular Aspen at this altitude but what was there was eye catching, I guess in contrast with the deserts surroundings? I certainly didn't expect fall coloration this late in the season.
I returned to camp and spent the afternoon riding slowly about the area on Yagi, just scooting about.
