We woke up about 7 and my master took me out. Snow again! This snow crunches. Boy we're my feet dirty after my walk. My master put me straight in the tub then dried me off. Snow is pretty but is sure is a hassle. I chilled out in the room with the birds while my masters had a wonderful eggs benedict breakfast while chatting with Chris and Jim. They have been to several of the places we will be going to. We took a parting picture of the "farm".
We left about 9:45 headed for the Buck Snort Saloon. It is snowing pretty good but quits not long after we turn onto County Road 126 which leads to Pine Grove. There we pick up Elk Creek Road. It is a narrow, gravel road with lots of turns. The we see a sign that says Road Narrows. How is that even possible? Fortunately there is no one else on the road. The scenery is breathtaking.
We arrive at Buck Snort Saloon. They are closed which we expected. Bob wanted to go here with his best friend Gerry who passed away in October. We brought Gerry's ashes with us so now they are both there. Elk Creek runs behind the saloon. A perfect place to spread some of Gerry's ashes. We took more pictures which you can see on this page.
We headed back to 285 since our destination is Georgetown, Colorado. It started snowing so heavy we thought we might not be able to go since Route 6 takes us through the Clear Creek pass. We went so far as to book a room in Golden but then the snow stopped so we went on to our hotel in Georgetown. The drive through the pass was spectacular. Pictures don't do it justice. We arrived about 12:30. My master checked us in and we got settled in the room. Georgetown is at 8,530 feet of elevation and boy does my master feel it. She has to take it very slow. It starts snowing again so we decide to stay in until around 4:30 when I get my walk and my masters go next door for an early dinner. They had pizza and listened to music by a gal and guy duo. I could tell the pizza was great from the smell of the leftovers they brought back. So not fair.
