Telluride Day 1

Our tents are down in that circus some place

Good to stay put for a day, well from a automobile perspective anyway - After breakfast at camp, we caught the shuttle to the main event venue and found our spot on the lawn. 



The plan for the day was to take in a few artists in the morning and head out for a hike before lunch.  I could tell as soon as we sat down for the first set that it was going to be a scorcher, so getting off the lawn and onto the trail for a while would be good. 



With full water bottles and some trail bars in our pack, we headed up the trail to the waterfall.  I was concerned that the elevation would effect me, not having run in over a week and starting at 8725 - feed and heading up another 1050 feet.   All I could think about as we headed up the trail was - where is the next obstacle? - think Tough Mudder : )  and I can say that no potion of the hike today was as steep as the average trail we did at Mt. Snow for the Tough Mudder, so it was more like a stroll in the woods compared to that.  We reached the waterfall.

When we arrived back at the venue just in time to see Bela Fleck & Abigail Washburn take the stage.  Again the sun was pretty intense, but there was this wonderful cloud train that was coming over the mountain and gave us frequent and welcome relief.  We enjoyed a selection New Belgian beers and Asian dumplings and hand made crepes.  The beer and food are all reasonably priced and really good quality. 

No car news today except the Amazon spotting by Joe on a walk through town

Mileage check - No change J


More music today, and back on the road to the Grand Canyon tomorrow.
