Notes: the ride from Idaho Springs to the top, on a Mt Evans Highway closed for the season, was Bob's idea. We finally met on the top. - Sofar virtually no snow in the mountains on this balmy warm day. What a joy to descend without cars around. The detour down Snyder Gulch and over Floyd Hill was my idea. Barely finished before complete darkness.
