Out There Colorado 14Oct21-17Oct21

The fall weather on the Front Range persists and Its beautiful - probably 10° warmer than normal for mid-Oct. Kala and I took off into the Pike National Forest for a hike.

And we rode downtown on our Foundry bikes...
And I revised the Aeotec temp/wet sensor on the Blodgett spa to run off of a wall wart; 5v DC out is the ticket. The battery was supposed to last a couple years but only really lasted a couple of months. While doing the modification I discovered an leak from prior freeze-out which had not been noticed or repaired prior. Sheesh. Had to replace and reinstall a filter.
And Kala worked the gardens for winter and trimmed the bushes and I took some pics of Blodgett with trees ablaze in color.

And I fished the Arkansas freestone @ Pinnacle Rock & Valle Bridge. Lame. Day was gorgeous, flows were wadable, and water wasn't too crowded... but I only managed one 5" brown. Sheesh. I didn't turn up anything at Pinnacle Rock so reasoned I needed to go above Coaldale - still slim pickin's and no sightings in the gin clear cooler water... hmmm, do I just suck now on the freestones?
