| no partners | | Went to the Cleaver. It was time to follow in the steps of Almighty Frick. The canyon was quite dry considering there was water in Finger last week. Nothing in most of the tinajas, either. All of the Front Range trailheads are PACKED right now, be forewarned. Most of the folks I passed were friendly but the place was also sprinkled with the angry q-tips who become ever-present in this mild weather. You know the types, they come clackity-clacking up to you and give you a look like you just peed in their Cheerios for daring to say "Hello" in a friendly tone. Fortunately, many of these types will not even recognize your existence and the encounter is fleeting. Best thing to do is get out of their way, lest they peck your eyes out with their hiking poles. Clearing the trail and letting them pass rarely satiates their menacing attitude, though, and you might get a grumpy grunt or comment. My favorite sub-variety are the ones with the East Coast accents who make comments about the firearm you may be carrying. I politely ask them where they think they are, smile, and move on absent second thought of the encounter. Have fun out there!  |
