Invited friends from the club for the annual sleepover at the property. With temps in the 100’s this past Friday, it was mighty enjoyable sneaking up to the Upper Meadows of the property to enjoy the cool temps and raise a pint or two to an almost Summer Solstice. Nine friends from the club were able to make the evening get together. After a drive to the wilderness boundary, we settled in for a most relaxing evening with good company around the propane fire (Clear Creek County put the fire ban back in place during the past week).

Saturday, we enjoyed a mellow start before heading back down to the heat of the city.

Went up to the cabin this past Friday for the night. Definitely starting to feel like Summer up there:). My favorite time of year! Managed to get up there mid afternoon after picking up the 4runner. Spent some time chopping wood a most enjoyable past time. I then headed off to the Upper Meadows. Didn’t make it to my favorite tree, but did manage a lot of time at what’s becoming my favorite spot. The pond, along with the rest of the property is looking a whole lot better since my last visit two weeks ago, thanks in part to the late Spring storm that brought over two feet of wet and much needed snow.

I spent quite a bit of time at the pond (the frogs seemed to be quite happy) in the Upper Meadows- a place that’s becoming my favorite spot. I even snuck back over for sunset. Up early the next morning, I headed out to a spot that provides a great overlook of the property for sunrise. A much needed visit.

Good to see snow on Evans ( now called Mt. Blue Sky)

An always enjoyable drive through the Upper Meadows.
