Colorado, USA
What's this? Alien artwork of course! The midwest has crop circles in the corn. Colorado has H20 circles on the lake. We did not see any little green men demanding to see our leader (thank goodness because I don't know who that would be) so we rode on by. Ha!
Today, with temps climbing into the 50s and a hankering for a BLT with fries, we hopped on The Ride, took a tour over the dam and headed north to Vern's Place in LaPorte, CO for lunch.The view west past the Horsetooth revealed the winter storm going on in the high country. Actually, through the notch in the photo below, the misty look to the foothills (one hump over) is a snow squall. We have more winter weather due in so we weren't all that surprised. Still, we were hoping it would stay over there. Those little suckers can get a bit nasty, blowing in hard and cold and sloppy - sort of like getting caught in a west Texas dust devil - only instead of grit in places you'd rather not have it - you are likely to get tiny ice balls down your shirt and frost stuck on your eyebrows. Ha!
Snow squall one hump overWe had sun and blustery, shifting winds across the dam, but by the time we left Vern's we were riding under mostly cloudy skies. The temps were not a problem though and we much enjoyed the outing... in other words, we were not quite ready to park it.
