South Fork, CO

South Fork is a very small town on the Silver Strand Scenic Highway. They are famous for Logger Days - a weekend of logging competitions which I'll tell you more about after this coming Saturday.

We met the whole group for cocktails and a game on Sunday afternoon and then had a great catered dinner and by 7 PM everyone was in their own RV's. So John and I got the bikes out and went exploring. Of course, everyone is older than us -- so it seems but we still have a few folks to meet.

Today we lined up with 10 other jeeps and took off on Barry's South Run. It was a relatively easy trail in the Rio Grande Wilderness Area with some challenges in some places, mud in others. We stopped by Beaver Creek Reservoir for lunch and were back at the campground by 1:30. We rode our bikes some this afternoon and found a lovely golf course but it is closed on our day off. If we get back from Jeeping early one day, we may try to get 9 holes played.
