Found a super campspot when we pulled into McCoy Flats, free and oh, maybe 20 mile views, also it was right on the singletrack of "Retail Sale". Highroller got out on a singletrack explore-o before beers, beans-n-franks and camp fire under a completely silent Milky Way. Honestly the best campout I've ever had. Next day the Weasel had us up at 5am for a morning camp fire, coffee and warm milk before Chainsaw headed out for her own ride. Trout and I chewed up the local trail and hiked a nearby hill for the sunrise thence to JB's for the $7.99 All You Can Eat breakfast buffet. I had Queso Biscuits 'n Gravy...mmm mmmm! The small sample of trails we rode were great and the whole experience was very Fruita, circa 1996. BLM free for all land, no rules, shotgun shells everywhere, narrow singletrack and no one there. Wish you'd been there! What wonders a can of beans, a pack of franks, some firewood and a billion stars can conjure up!

That weekend was good for the soul!... and the fact that Trout liked it was BONUS!
ReplyDeleteSorry that we missed the big weekend. Sounds like the swine flu, school and babies knocked out the rest of bIKE cLUB. Hope that the Alford's had fun!
ReplyDeleteI blame the BLTFFL (Boulder Ladies Tropical Fish Fanciers League) and their hated and despised leader, Sandra "Sandy" Fleisch-O'Bannion. Damn you Sandy!
ReplyDeleteWow! Looks wonderful and I can't believe how big Trout is!!!
