Thu 8/18 - AM 75 minutes

Deer Creek Trail near Gothic. Just me, the cattle, and their numerous cow pies. Out and back along this path on the advice of a local who said it was scenic country, even by CB standards. Lived up to that billing.

SE towards Mt. Crested Butte and the ski hill

SW towards Gothic Mountain

Turned around a little sooner than intended when I came across three cows lying down on the trail:

In hindsight it was for the best as I continue to feel tired from yesterday. Feeling pretty strung out by the end of the run. Trail climbed in spurts on the way out, enough to be taxing at this elevation. Temp rose noticeably over the course of the run as some thin clouds cleared out and the sun got higher.
