Invited friends from the club for the annual sleepover at the property. With temps in the 100’s this past Friday, it was mighty enjoyable sneaking up to the Upper Meadows of the property to enjoy the cool temps and raise a pint or two to an almost Summer Solstice. Nine friends from the club were able to make the evening get together. After a drive to the wilderness boundary, we settled in for a most relaxing evening with good company around the propane fire (Clear Creek County put the fire ban back in place during the past week).

Saturday, we enjoyed a mellow start before heading back down to the heat of the city.

At the wilderness boundary. About as remote as one can get for an hour and forty five minute drive from Downtown Denver.

One fine sunrise!
