Sorry I missed you Beemer. You can almost always find me at Skyland Lodge, (where my office is located) or at the fire station downtown in Crested Butte. I am usually not more than ten minutes away from either place, unless I am out of town. We have had some unseasonbly cool weather this spring. It was in the low seventies just a week and a half ago, and we do have great warm summers....once summer gets here!

I think we are going to ecape the bad weather and return in about month to camp on the meadows on 12 before Crested Butte...
what do you think Paul?
A loop through Crested Butte and a Recipe
No words to describe the landscape, we can try. Raw, amazing, breath taking and so much more. And yet, cold, very cold and the weather is just not cooperating at the moment with the dark clouds and rain on a daily basis.
Probably too early in the year to be here as the good camping is near by Crested Butte within elevations close to 10,000 feet.
Wide open meadows, streams for much needed water, however out of the question right now. The loop which I posted a map is an incredible one comprised with a variety of roads from twisties to well maintained dirt on 12 just about alright for even a regular car or street bike.
Crested Butte itself is a totally welcoming little town and my question to many was “how do you handle winter here!”. It is as a totally different world, even the structures of the dwellings showing signs of harsh winters. But the prize is there… isolated within the clouds and outdoor activities like nowhere else. It is a dog town as everyone has one…
Today actually we are going back to Grand Junction for personal matters, matters I will explain in the next Blog.
Enjoy… and be well.
