last night we went to a concert in Aspen with B&T.
we saw Ryan Adams perform at the Belly Up.
it rocked!
we had a fancy dinner out with B&T before the show. then we met up with my dear friend, Stepho, who lives in Aspen now. while cruising the town with her we saw the rock star himself out at diner. there was much debate about whether or not one of us should approach him. in the end, we left him alone.
after the show, we camped on the other side of Independence Pass, near Twin Lakes. we slept in as much as we could in the morning, and then woke up to make coffee and eat blueberry muffins.
then we drove over towards Leadville and Turquoise Lake for a hike.
Timberline Lake trail was beautiful. summer wildflowers everywhere! the dogs ran around, and then we made it up to the lake.
Ade caught a fish right away. T through a stick into the lake for the dogs. B and i made a little snack picnic for everyone out of fritos, bean dip, cheese and granola bars. i must remember to pack that bean dip on future hikes. yum.
lunch in Leadville at Top of the Hill Coffee Shop. delicious!
amazing laser-cut wood art of mountainscapes from Precision Peaks decorated the walls.
