This is the coffee spot when we’re hanging with Laura’s family in Saratoga Springs, NY
We’ve got some winter travel coming up over the next couple of months and it was time to get some new boots that weren’t heavy backpacking boots. I decided on the Danner Vertigo 917.
Danner is a great company that makes really nice stuff that’s highly functional and looks pretty good too. These boots will be the only shoes I bring with me. I bought them a half-size up to accommodate some thicker socks, but even with lighter weight socks, my feet stay put, which is nice. I’ll report back on how they work out.
Not sure we’re gonna get out of Colorado tomorrow, at least not out of the airport we intended. The Lake Christine Fire has Aspen Airport closed down, at least through tonight. Not scheduled to leave until tomorrow evening, but it’s not looking good.
We might not make it out of Colorado due to the Lake Christine Fire. We’re not due to leave until tomorrow night, but no planes are getting in or out of Aspen today.
Made it to Colorado. So nice to get away.

This looks really incredible. If I wasn’t so satisfied with my Patagonia MLC bag, which is indestructible and has served me so well, I might pick this up.
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.”

I’ve always been fascinated with Salton City. It’s such a deathly and depressing place. Interesting history. Super sketchy, yet so beautiful.
