July 9-August 7, 2017; In Salida.
As I have said, I visited Salida during my time
above Golden, and on July 26th I returned to resume my visit with
Dan & Lee. I fully intended to stop
along the way and take photos, but the weather was inclement (exciting though!),
and I was running late. I was shown an
extremely good time, and although I spent a certain amount of time doing
paperwork (does it ever cease?), several forays were undertaken in Salida, and
further afield. The photographs will
tell the story.

| Frantz
Lake on the outskirts of Salida. |
 |
| A
Cormorant on the lake … |
 |
| … probably
a Double-crested. |
 |
Another
view of Frantz Lake
with the beginnings of the Collegiate Range beyond. |
 |
Another
lake a short distance from Frantz Lake
and next to the Arkansas River,
with
Salida Hill beyond
the cone shaped hill in the center). |
 |
| This
lake … |
 |
…
has trout.
|
 |
| Another
day … |
 |
| … a
hike … |
 |
| …
was taken … |
 |
| …
into Browns Canyon … |
 |
| …
to the North … |
 |
| …
of Salida; |
 |
| …
the Arkansas River … |
 |
| …
flows through it; |
 |
| …
and there are … |
 |
| …
wildflowers … |
 |
| …
here too; |
 |
| …
these red ones are some sort of Penstemon. |
 |
These
two Bambis really wanted to come
and have supper in Dan & Lee’s yard. |
 |
“Awww
… Please?
(incidentally, Salida is riddled with deer). |
 |
Mt.
Princeton, with the “Chalk Cliffs”
displayed at the base;
these are not actual
chalk,
but I believe a form of shale. |
 |
| A
storm near Buena Vista, 22 miles north of Salida. |
 |
The
Castles on forest road 307,
off of US285, east of Buena Vista. |
 |
| Twin
Lakes … |
 |
| …
north of Buena Vista … |
 |
| …
on the way to Leadville. |
The
next post completes my picture-log of my Salida sojourn.
