We got underway around 9:30 AM, and headed north, via Longmont, and took a lunch break at Fort Collins. The Poudre River was running big, a mocha color. We saw many rafts on commercial river trips. It is a slow drive over Cameron pass, but all downhill on the west side. The lady in the liquor store in Walden said that the weather had been bad, but it is a beautiful day today. The forecast for Denver was in the 90's, but cooler and pleasant here.
There are a surprising number of people at South Delaney Buttes Lake. We were not able to camp on the west side of the lake, where we would usually camp, so we camped on the east side. Not sure if the fishing will be as good here. Richard fished for an hour and a half around sunset, but no luck. He saw a few fish on the surface, and a muskrat. We watched the lightning flashes of a thunderstorm far to the east.
