Jessica and I decided to spend some time with just the 2 of us this weekend. We went camping just a little way from China Wall. We were camping along the trail to a Gulch(I forgot the names and didn't take a pic DO'H). We didn't leave CO Spring till 4:30 or so Saturday. We hesitated on "weather" or not to go as all the forecast reports looked bad. We packed up and headed out, on the way the wind picked up and we hit a cold driving rain in Woodland Park ... Lucily this was shortly over and the skies were sunny before Florrisant. We went on to find our spot and set up camp in the sunny and warmer than home weather. When we finished I looked over to where Wheeler Lake would be... CLOUDS... couldn't help but wonder how the others were doing on the trail!
So as we built a campfire,had dinner, hung out we watched the clouds move around us, somewhere around 10 pm or so the clouds made it to our campsite, made for a really cool experience, but we stayed warm around the fire!! I wish my camera could have caught the view... but no luck.
Next morning we got up had breakfast and went out cruising. We drove all over the many AND I MEAN MANY roads out there, did 3 gulches. We drove down FS 225,223, 867, etc etc etc there are roads to everything out there.
We then saw a sign La Salle Pass, while this was all done in our XJ in 2WD I recommend this trail for next years Fall colors run, it was BEAUTIFUL!! I am glad we took this road, it actually drops you off on the other side of Wilkerson Pass (you can continue but we didn't have time)! Anyway enough of the blah blah here are pics
