OK. So we're back. We decided to depart the campground much earlier than expected due to large number of black widow spiders, the first of which we noticed crawling on our daughter. While there, I did the first little part of Kelley Flats, but nothing else. I was actuall a little apprehensive about even doing the first part because it's a little tippier than I remember from a few months back and I didn't have a spotter. It was just me and the little one in the Jeep and I didn't see anyone else on the trail. The fishing was awesome. We caught well over our limit in a short amount of time. We couldn't have asked for better weather. Friday was cool, a little chilly at night, but not a big deal, Saturday was a little on the warm side, but not unbearable. Saturday evening/night were in the mid to low 70s, then we got back to Denver around midnight last night and it was a good 10-15 degrees cooler. It's a little odd to drive north to get away from chilly weather. All in all, it was a good trip, a little short, but good. I didn't take too many pictures, but I'll post what I got before too long.

It's possible that I brought the spiders with me in the camp stuff, but I would think that we would have noticed them when setting up or something, not more than a full day later. I was at Kelly Flats around 2PM or so on Saturday. I was going to do the run with everyone, but the fishing was just too damn good to stop. I was actually looking for some deadfall for firewood and I remembered a bunch of it was up there just past the giant puddle at the start of the Heart Attack Hill bypass.
