Our bosses said there was not enough to do today so we got a surprise day off! Yoo-hoo! We were told about a beautiful scenic drive through a "town" called Powderhorn so decided to try...we ended up on the most beautiful dirt roads...one through aspens and wild lupines, another we got lost on and ended up meeting a nice young rancher and family who had at least 20 horses..she succeeded in getting us to buy some farm fresh eggs. .The correct dirt road took us past gorgeous ranches...each miles apart and we had a picnic near one just watching the cows.
After returning we went to today's big event in Lake City: the 50 mile endurance run through the mts called the San Juan Mts Solstice Run. These crazy runners ( mostly from CO or high elevation states) ran through the mts ..up 12,840 feet and down..thru snow and rain at times.
We just came back from watching some of the runners. 2 people made it just under 8 hours and the first woman under 11! Amazing...Now it is time to cook, relax and maybe see a sunset later..
