Fall... where did you go?

Fall. I don't know where it went. The calendar may not agree but this year it feels  like what there was to Fall came and went before you could blink. Not that Winter has arrived - Denver and the mountains have barely seen a flurry - so I'm not quite sure what's going on.

I've been busy up in Twin Lakes doing basement work on our cabin. First it was putting up walls, then drywall, and now primer and paint before we put down the floor. Fortunately it's the last major project and we'll be glad when it's finally done. On the bright side it did give me an excuse to be in the High Country during what brief Fall there was and I played hooky enough to get out and capture some of the season in the video below.

Driving up to the mountains last week the Eisenhower Tunnel was closed westbound due to a major accident  on the downhill to Dillon so all westbound traffic was sent up and over 11,990 ft. Loveland Pass. It was an amazing sight to see as Thousands of tail lights snaked up the Pass in slow motion. In recent years I've probably biked Loveland Pass more than I've driven it but it's still a beautiful trip. Except at night creeping along at 5-10 mph.  It did bring back memories from my childhood when there were no tunnels and you had no choice but to head over the high, winding road that is Loveland Pass. I'm dating myself when I say that was when ski lift ticket prices were in single digits and the busiest travel days couldn't cast a shadow to the midweek traffic forced to detour last Wednesday.

Oh well. The Trip was still worth it as I think you'll see in the video. Now if I can only finish the basement before the snow flies.
