this is where i woke up this morning. to the left is the room i slept in and to the right is the lake that slept outside my room. grand lake-spirit lake. one lake with both names. it is the largest natural lake in colorado. it lies over the continental divide from where i live.
i rode over trail ridge road- through rocky mountain national park- to get there. it is a spectacular ride which takes you up over two miles high, through twists and turns, switchbacks and cuts. sheer cliff on one side or both and a narrow two lane road full of hazards:elk
deer
big horn sheep
rocks
permafrosted pavement
motor homes
tour buses
tourists posing for pictures
it is beautiful, though.just me and the Z.
it's not the distance as much as the elevation that takes you away.
