This past Friday, I headed up to my clubs (Rising Sun 4×4 Club of Colorado) Adopt-A-Road, Argentine Pass. To be honest, it’s one of my favorite trails. Close to Denver and full of history. Way back in ’03/’04 when I was Event Coordinator for the club, I got the club to adopt Argentine pass, working with the Clear Creek Ranger District. I headed up Friday with the plan to check out an area that I’ve been curious about for a long time- an old mine at the base of Mt. Wilcox. After getting the truck I headed for Georgetown, all the while being informed by the parents that I left my backpack and hiking boots at there house ( bonehead move). So instead of the hike, ended up over at the Santiago Mine. Been a while since I’ve been there Was nice to spend some time there an wander around the place again ( as best as I could with the current closures). I had the place to myself for a few hours. a nice treat.

After realizing I left the needed essentials at the parents house, I buzzed up to the Silver Plume Depot with the hopes of picking up a hoodie from the gift shop, instead was invited in by the shop Forman to take some pics.

After A hot week of work (outside), I snuck up to the cabin this past Friday for the night. Hadn’t been up since before this years Ghost Town Run in July. It felt good to get up to the property again. Spent the afternoon with various projects (and a nap) before taking my pal Dan and his girlfriend Nancy for a drive around the property and to the Wilderness Boundary, with a fine sunset on our way back to the cabin. We spent the rest of the evening hanging out. Didn’t even get a fire going. Next morning we woke early to catch the sunrise overlooking the property. I love summer.

Just thought I’d give a quick update. For the Ghost Town Run this year, I got some stickers and koozies made up. Pretty excited how they came out- of course I ordered more than needed… After Cruise Moab, a dear friend from Downtown bought one of my stay at home pandemic pictures. Lastly, I got accepted to a call for art from the Los Lagunas Art Gallery.
