We decided to get away this week, but did not have much time, so we decided to drive up to the Red Feather Lakes area, which we had not visited in several years. The only open Forest Service campground is at Dowdy Lake, which is open year round. Conveniently, the campground has electricity, nice this time of year.
On the drive up, we kept seeing signs warning of a controlled burn, and caught sight of smoke from time to time. Eventually, we drove through a valley full of smoke. Luckily, the smoke did not extend as far as Dowdy Lake. It is very quiet here.
The lake is beautiful, with interesting rock formations. Richard went out fishing for an hour and a half, and caught a ten inch trout, which he decided to keep to give to a friend. Marianne relaxed and read.
