Left Colorado Springs about noon after spending the morning with my good friend Kevin Johnson and his son having breakfast and doing some shopping. Then started the portion of the trip it took us three days to get to which is the mountain roads by starting on US50 west from Colorado Springs to Montrose, CO crossing the continental divide before heading south on US550. This was a beautiful day for riding and camping as it was sunny and comfortable temps in the 70s so we decided to camp at Ridgeway State Campground. As we entered about dusk, we were greeted by about a dozen head of deer at the campground entrance.
The campsite at Ridgeway State Park:
Local fauna, who kept greedily eyeing our supply of Gentleman Jack. Note the wicked gleam:

One of many beautiful views along the road:
