Here are a few highlights from my five day trip in Washington, Lincoln, Kiowa, Bent, Prowers, Baca, Otero, El Paso and Pueblo counties. Sorry for the late post on the earlier days. I was camping the whole time and had little reception and iphone charge capacity. For three days I encountered about 20-30 MPH sustained winds.
