Living in Downtown Denver, I didn’t feel like dealing with all the noise from the Halloween weekend. So, even though I work on Sunday, decided to sneak up to the cabin for a night. The weather was perfect. Tried to make a visit to my favorite tree only to be turned around by some trees that been blown over on the road. Back at the cabin, I got a fire going in the Winter Quarters and settled in for the night. Up at 2am to make my 5am start time at work ( I clocked in at 4am). A much needed night at the cabin.

Crazy to think that this was my first visit to the cabin since mid August….

Had the chance to sneak up to the hills with a good friend this past weekend to ride the Georgetown Loop and enjoy the Fall colors. We rode the Loop during a cool Friday morning, after making a stop at Cabin Creek Brewery. Saturday, before heading back down to Denver, I stopped in Silver Plume for a quick stroll along the old grade of the Argentine Central to enjoy the Fall Colors. As I was taking in the Fall colors, noticed that it snowed the night before, with that fresh white stuff around 10k ft… A much relaxing weekend.

First train ride of the day on the Georgetown Loop. Cool temps and fall colors.
