Colorado Kilting

[Riverkilt]

Just back from a lovely trip to Ridgeway, Colorado to soak in Orvis Hot Springs and mellow out.

We rendevoused in Dolores, Colorado last Thursday night then drove in to Ridgeway. Stopped along the way for some hiking and pics along the Dolores River. Had on my "birthday outfit" again, the Orvis cable knit sweater my lady gave me to go with my Orvis RAF replica mechanic's vest. Kilt is Macdonald Lord of the Isles hunting. River is the Delores River.





Them be Z Coil hikers and Lewis Kilt Hose. Kathy Lare sewed the kilt.
Note the ice cycles on the rock in the pleat pic...it were cold.

Next day, after we pruned out at Orvis, the ladies wanted to explore Ouray. I used to live there when I worked in the old Idarado Mine up at Red Mountain Pass. So showed them around then wound up on the road out to the Camp Bird mine and then on the road to Yankee Boy Mine.



The mountains in the background are the ones I used to work deep inside of. Kilt is Scott Modern Red by Kathy Lare. Lewis Kilt hose and Z Coil hikers. That's Canyon Creek that runs down to the box canyon in Ouray.



Farther up the road, past the Camp Bird Mine, on a very narrow cliffside road to the Yankee Boy Mine. The pic doesn't show the sheer drop off just behind me. Probably only a couple thousand feet down to the creek.

It snowed deep last night and we had a great adventure chugging home over Lizard Head Pass in the heavy powder. Ski people are gonna be real happy now.
