I drove up to Rocky Mountain National Park with my friend Stuart yesterday to check out the fall colors up there, afterwards having dinner at The Post in Boulder on the way back. Even though we didn't get to the park until 3:30, there was a long line to get in. We drove up to Bear Lake, and on the way back, ran into two more long lines - both caused by people stopping to look at the elk, which are not exactly rare around here. By the time we got to Boulder, we were ready for chicken and beer at The Post, which is an excellent place to dine, right off the Pearl Street Mall. The wait there on a Saturday evening was not too bad, especially since we were willing to sit out on the patio on a fairly chilly night, where I snapped the above photo of Stuart. Afterwards we walked along the Pearl Street Mall for a bit, which was strangely empty. I guess I am used to it being packed with people on warm summer nights, whereas last night, as I have mentioned, was actually downright cold. Plus, school is in session. No doubt all those University of Colorado students were back in their dorms, studying their hearts out.
