We continued on through Ridgeway, eventually leaving the highway for a dirt road to my Aunt Beckie's cabin.
It's on the other side of the mountains from Telluride and has amazing views for miles.
There's an outdoor camp kitchen from before it had running water.
There's a wonderful copse of my favorite trees coming down the hill behind the cabin.
Beckie had me and the girls up here when they were little. There was a huge crop of grasshoppers that year that seemed to be able to hop to just about to Madi's face level at the time. I don't know anyone that particularly likes grasshoppers, but Madi seems to really dislike them now for some reason.
We got back on the highway at Sawpit and continued to Telluride. We did a slow pass up and back through town, and it was enough for us this time. Too early to eat, looked pricey, and we still had a ways to go.
On the way down from Telluride we hit hail. In July.
We ended up back where we had started the morning before, Farmington.
