"This is the start of catching up on my blog posts. Life got interesting from this point forward"

Great and typical day for riding in Colorado. Started out cool and clear. Day got warmer. Day got cooler. Day brought rain and fog (clouds) in the upper mountains. Scenery was beautiful when you could see it. High mountain fog and rain restricted visibility in what was probably some of the prettier areas.

Difficult riding at times with the weather conditions and roads that had been recently repaved and still had loose gravel in spots making life interesting.

Wish that I could have seen more of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison but weather did not cooperate in that area.

Arrived in Mancos, Colorado and was met by 'Santa' Chuck at the intersection into town. Fueled up and he led me out to where he and Susan had their RV camped for the summer at Echo Basin. Beautiful area. They fed me a steak and corn on the cob and had a beautiful campfire setup.

Life is good. So nice to find friends and hospitality so far away from home. Makes you glad to be alive.
