Twin Lakes, CO
Leaving Grand Junction we were passed by a Budweiser Clydesdale caravan. Three monster 18 wheelers and several support vehicles. Their western stable is in Colorado Springs. Guess they were headed home and they were not wasting any time getting there.
East on I70 toward Denver.
Farms east of Grand Junction
Colorado River east of Grand Junction
Easy drive and no sign of rock slide earlier this year.
Rocky Mountains west side
South on US 24 – “Top of the Rockies” scenic byway. Over Tennessee Pass and down through Leadville. Highest city in America – 10200’.
Downtown Leadville
Past the headwaters of the Arkansas River. Another headwater to our collection. A little further south and then a short drive west to Twin Lakes.
Up the hill to the second home of Steve and Jennifer. Friends dating back to high school. Very nice home that he built himself over the last five years. Very comfortable and a great view overlooking Twin Lakes. Very pleasant visit with Steve (Jennifer still back east) through the afternoon and evening including a wonderful meal.
