Sleeping in Wetmore gave me an easy 32 mile day to Canon City Ridge campground so by noon I was settling in. When I turned off route to the campground I met Nancy at My Sister’s Place restaurant for lunch before riding the 3 miles miles to the site.
The next morning we hike a trail to the ridge above the Arkansas River. We spotted some rafts below and decided to book a river rafting for the next day. The wind here is strong enough to knock us around while walking, 50 mph gusts. I hope this wind ends before leaving in a few days. We have been told that in 30 years the wind has not been this strong for this long, two months now.
