Many Geebers and Geeblets went to Ouray, where the town pool has 4 pools of varying temperatures, and a water slide. They waited out the rain in the candy store. The chocolate sea-salt caramels are very good.
Ted, Tricia, Fletcher, Gavin and I went to a hike at the Lizard Head trail head.

 |
| We stopped at a high point on the way to Wilson Meadow. We decided not to go down a series of these clay shoulders, since only Gavin was enthusiastic about it. Instead, we decide to continue on the Lizard Head trail to the ridge. |
Here is the panorama Fletcher made at the spot overlooking that clay slope.
 |
| Tricia on the ascent to the ridge - it's a steep climb to get up there. The path is well-maintained. It's mainly dirt on long, steep switchbacks. |
 |
| That strange upright formation is Lizard Head. It started to rain while we were up on the ridge. |
 |
| The ridge gave us a 180 degree view. The sound of thunder sent us back down, rather than going on another half hour or so to a knob that has a 360 degree view. |

 |
| The storm was coming in fast as we went back down across the meadow. By the time we left the parking lot, it was pouring. |
 |
| We had lunch at the Butcher and Baker, and played bridge. |
