We left Colorado Springs on Saturday morning and headed to the Florissant Fossil Beds, where we walked around the National Monument and enjoyed the fossilized STUMPS
Then we headed west and over to Buena Vista where we went to an awesome ice cream place that Skylyr told us about! It was a spectacular drive with big open views and storms on the horizons.
After enjying the ice cream, we detoured to see the Adventure Unlimited (A/U) ranches where I twice went to summer camp as a child. It has changed a lot, but it was cool to go there. Then we drove up to the Continental Divide and walked over to the view point (photo below), then continued down the hill into Aspen.
We got into cell range in time to find out that Skylyr was still at work in Aspen and would be happy for a lift back to his house where we were going to stay for a few days. Perfect! We got to see the fancy watch store that he works in.
We got to his house, went out to dinner at a restaurant downstairs, and then stopped at Whole Foods to buy obscene amounts of high quality ice cream!
