Driving to Delaney Buttes


We got up in the morning, and starting organizing to go. When Richard hitched up the boat trailer, he found that the safety chains were missing, probably never replaced after repainting the trailer last year. But a trip to the hardware store let us get on the road. After hitching up the Sunnybrook and the boat, our rig is 62 feet long.

The drive over was routine, over Berthoud pass, and then through Winter Park, Fraiser, Tabernash, and Granby. Lots of construction and development. On our way into Walden, the light on the fields was beautiful. We stopped in Walden at the liquor store, and to talk to the guys in the fly shop, and then headed to the lake. When we arrived at South Delaney Butte lake, we saw a strange looking inflatable boat on the shore, and then realized that it was our friends, Art and Linda. So we set up near them, and put our boat in the water. We went out and fished in the evening, but fishing was slow, so we came in. Art and Linda came over to our RV, where we swapped stories until late.
