| no partners | | | Blake and I took a brisk hike to get some exercise and to scout out routes down to the river. Need to find a way down that doesn't lead to the occasionally tamarisk-choked shoreline. Beautiful, sun-shiny day. |

| no partners | | | Short run before the long drive to Oregon for Thanksgiving. Great views of the Gunnison. Scoped out a route down to the river for Blake (for fishing). While he fishes I’ll be nosing around for ruins and rock art. Note: looks like the trail would be great for biking, too. Wide path with no ruts despite it being open to horse riding. |

| no partners | | | Relatively sedate trail along the bluffs overlooking the river. So-so, though the view of the bend at the end was nice. |
