Interstate behind me...

Webcam Cache near Woodland Park

Today was my first full day in Colorado.  I had time to ride out to attempt a few things.  I intended to meet some friends in Woodland Park. I wanted to grab the Woodland Park Webcam ,which I did.  I also wanted to grab the oldest cache (Tarryall) in Colorado.  I accomplished that cache and the scenery was amazing.  I tried to get in touch with my friends but I could not get an answer back.  That was too bad.  I hate being so close and missing my friends.  I did try to ascend Pikes Peak but the road was closed at 3 and I arrived too late.

The evening was spent shooting the breeze with my friend.  It is always good to catch up on 25 years of life and often a surprise at the unexpected turns along the road.  We both never expected what has happened along the way.  In some ways I think I need to remind myself that the future is not predictable nor can it be molded to what we envision as perfect.  It's like a needlepoint.  The finished product is prettier than the little threads that make up the image.  The big Eastern Interstates are behind me.  From here on I will travel the more interesting and twisty roads.  They are always more fun than zipping through on a concrete slab.
