Altitude And Cold Morning

With the altitude close to 9000 ft the weather is down in the low 30’s and high 20’s in the mornings…This makes any kind of activity leaving you breathing very deeply…This is such a beautiful place and just full of history…We drove over to Lake City ,Tuesday…This is the place where Alford Packer got caught in the winter and the group ate the bodies of those that died when their food supplies were exhausted…There is much controversy about what actually happened…We are excited about places to go on day trips…The rustic town Lake City is in a beautiful valley…To get there you have to cross passes reaching to almost 13000 feet…The altitude just makes me move very slow…Hwy 149 out of Creede 013

Look closely and see the riders and horses reflected in the lakeHwy 149 out of Creede 010 The pictures do not give the area justiceHwy 149 out of Creede 014

I wish I could share the atmosphere with all of you…Talk to you later…Philip

  1. I enjoyed your comments about the location and the side trips you are taking. Wish we could share the camping experience with both of you but my days are limited to getting from one day to the next. I look forward to reading your blog every day. Also enjoy the pictures. Sis
