No Tunage: I lost my earbuds. Somebody in Buena Vista now enjoys my Jaybird bluetooth earbuds.

First I took a ride up the frontside trail going up the cone hill opposite the Arkansas river from downtown. Loads of singletrack trails, dirt jeep roads going farther east. The cone hill dirt road leads up to the giant ‘S’ on the hillside for Salida. A cell tower and hut at the top surely ensure lots of bars. Headed home afterward for a smooth ride and no issues climbing mountain passes.

After I arrived home, I made reservations for the weekend in June for the First In Boating the Arkasas Festival. The FIBark festival looks like the one of a kind event worthy of an early summer vacation.

All of downtown Salida is visible from Cone Hill.

Hut and cell tower at the top of Cone Hill. A very local hiking spot.
