What an unplanned treat! Had planned Jefferson for today, but decided to put it off one more day due to the high winds summit forecast. Glad I did. This had a great country feel. Some beautiful scenery. Made one mistake by missing the turn at the bottom of the .6 out&back to the Horn and ended up climbing 1/3 of the way back up Bulge before i realized i was going UP. Easily corrected and enjoyed the rest of the day. Holiday crowds were non-existent here. Just about 4 other groups. |
