Squaw Pass
----
Today, I'm going to try to make Squaw Pass. Last time I tried, it was covered in snow, and I'm not riding over snow. So, we'll try it again today, as the temp is now in the 60's.
My route today will be a loop up County Road 65 over Squaw Pass to Echo Lake, down to Idaho Springs, and back via I70. Map says it's 59 miles. 1 hour 44 minutes. Looks like a high today in Idaho Springs of 65F.
So, I did this loop...Squaw Pass down into Idaho Springs. Was going to eat lunch at Carl's Jr, but the woman just stared at me, like she didn't even want to say "what can I get for you?" So, I just turned around and walked out. Rode to Evergreen, and hit up Walmart for some Easter goodies for when Jen and Cody come up. Get back to the house in time for their 2:00pm goat walk.
Jen and Cody show up and join me as the goats feast on the green grass sprouts coming up after the snows of March melted. After the goat walk, we divied up the Easter goodies. Then, Jen and Cody left, and I went for another ride on the motorcycle. This time, took North Turkey Creek to South Turkey Creek to Hilldale Drive to City View Drive and down to Pleasant Park to Deer Creek, then down to Deer Creek Canyon Park. Then, back up Deer Creek Canyon, to South Turkey Creek, to North Turkey Creek.
Then, I fed the animals, and went for the 3rd ride for the day. This time, North Turkey Creek to Jefferson County Hwy 73 to Shadow Mountain and down to Willow Creek.
