I think I’ve been itching to get here since we left Dallas 2 weeks ago. See we actually purchased an acre lot here in Crested Butte a couple months ago and I still haven’t seen it in person so I’ve been dying. Because we were getting in pretty late we figured it would be best to go straight to our favorite boon docking site up on Washington Gulch Road and get settled and wait for tomorrow to see it.
After meeting with a potential architect we headed over to the pirate playground in town. We played until the rain hit hard enough it forced us to make our way back to camp. Some of our friends from Dallas had been staying in CB the last month and asked if we wanted a little double date night. I honestly can’t even remember the last time Matt and I had a date night so we said yes! Maisey loves their kids and even though we had a babysitter I knew their oldest daughter would be probably the one doing all the work cause Mais would be all about her and she’s such a little caretaker. We hit up Public House with a couple drinks and yummy food before heading back. How I managed not to take a single photo…I don’t know. I’m the worst (or maybe the best?) about not taking pics when hanging with friends.
The next day we decided to do the Washington Gulch hike since it was right up the road. “Right” up the road means like a ways away and with some major bumps and potholes. We ran into some ladies from the Carolinas in their 60’s trying to hike up the road to get to the trail head. They had a minivan and realized awhile back they weren’t going to make it in it so we offered them a ride in the back of the pickup. Poor things got abused back there even with Matt going as slow and steady as he could. Lol They we’re troopers though and were so thankful.
The Washington Gulch hike (aka 403) was stunning. An easy uphill hike surrounded by beautiful views and flowers! Ugh! I love all the flowers. CB is actually the Wildflower Capital of Colorado and luckily we got there just in time to see some before they were gone.
