I started my milestone trip to Colorado with an early flight, for which Bob kindly took me to the airport. I drove strait up to the mountains. On the way up, I-70 had some major slow points which turned out to be due to lookey-loos because of a major accident coming down out of the mountains. WHen I got to it there were at least 10 emergency vehicles and the debris was spread over a large area. I can’t imagine anybody got out without being hurt.
After passing through some rain storms, I got up to Summit County mid-afternoon, and it was quite pleasant. I could definitely feel that altitude of 9000 feet. Just walking around too fast can get me winded. Better fittness and some acclimation are needed. I had a nice, early dinner, then I went down to the marina area to take some photographs. There were some nice clouds, and I waited long enough and got some nice sunsets behind the mountains reflecting off the lake. Another day or so up here, then I head down to Shakespeare country.
