Yeah it's been pretty hot. I haven't been over Cochetoa in awhile. That's an ancient mountain pass used by native people for millennia. Early mountain mem said it was the one pass Buffalo would use even in winter to get from either side of the Rocky mountains in Colorado. I saw a moose one time down in the thickets along the creek of the east side. Years ago me and a couple fishing buddies would head over there to camp and fish on Tomichi creek. Its a great area that's even still a less populated during peak season. You can get some wicked thunder storms along the upper Tomichi creek that can just whip up in a moment with big time lighting strikes all around and freezing cold rain.
Dang hot day down here on the front range today, but right now I'm in a chair in the backyard and this awesome thunder head is sucking up all kinds of atmosphere air up in it and making a very nice breeze this evening. It's moving along out east now and starting to light up from bolts of lightning.
