Mike and the Ouray Trail Group worked on the Gray Copper Gulch Trail last Thursday. They only went partway up to dismantle a bridge over the creek and then build a new one. Yesterday, we went up to hike the rest of it with Barb and Steve (3), who so graciously offered their four-wheel drive Jeep for us all go in and get to the trailhead. What an amazing hike! There were so many wildflowers, and we heard elk bugling in a meadow. There was a waterfall at the end of the box canyon, and we ended at 11,200 feet, amazing views. We all highly recommend.

We've been diligently feeding the fish, and when I say it's fun, I really mean it. Watching the fish come to the surface to gobble up the feed is something I've never seen, and it never fails to entertain. Highly recommend.
With the rain we are having as I write this and what has come before and what is to come, I'm less worried about wildfires. It was nicely damp on Gray Copper Gulch Trail, and everything was really green, just like on Weehawken. We are still being super careful, but it feels less dire.
