After coffee and cereal we head into St. Elmo at the foot of the Sawatch Range. We were just here three weeks ago, but it's good to be back again. This is a neat town and well attended by four-wheelers. In fact we have a hard time finding a place to park. We find a trail along the North Fork of Chalk Creek that is off limits to off-roaders. We hike up about two miles until we are blocked by a marsh. We try to exhaust the dogs by playing in the water. We back track through Buena Vista and reclaim our site at the RV Corral in Leadville.

Watched this American Dipper

Water Quezl, working it's way up the creek.
