Camped in a National Forest a little NW of Crested Butte which is a ski town. The wealth is on par with many such towns but not as fully developed as Vail or Aspen. Condos, kitschy village stores, and lots of scattered dream homes in the Colorado style.

Camp site.
Persied metor shower was pretty cool last night despite the smokey skies. Because there's very little light pollution you can tons of stars but what really strikes me is how vividly the luminosity of planets stands out compared to CT skies. Alas, cloudy tonight.
Explored Kebler Pass FS road today. About a 5 mile hike including some serious Bushwhacking through dense forest I probably shouldn't have done. Some very
nice open meadows but evidence of mountain lions too.
When you're Bushwhacking, how do you know where the return trail is? Makes me nervous that you could get turned around. Regarding the stars, you ever wonder where they came from?
