Husband tried to make his own yeast this week since all stores were out. Didn’t turn out very well, very dense bread.

Yes, still in Hawaii, dodging my calls and texts. @JFskiDan hopefully your store does things different. I also ordered a week out and while items were available when I ordered, they were out of stock day of pick up. Good luck!

My kids don’t live here any more luckily. Hate to say it but I would be going nuts if they were here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok I have been trying to be a good citizen and not go out unnecessarily. The past 2 weeks we did curbside pick up of groceries. When we got our groceries today, even though I added things yesterday, I received 13 items. So I had to go out, went to the small satellite Whole Foods near my house. Governor just announced masks when outside so I wore a buff, all I had. A security guard made me wait outside as the store was at capacity. There were lines painted where to space and stand. When I entered everyone was wearing masks and most had gloves. I grabbed the necessities I needed and waited in the lined spaces at checkout. After each person they sprayed and sanitized the area. I guess everywhere is like this now, but I haven’t been out in a while. It is hard to believe this is society now.

I ordered 58 items, when I went to edit there were only 16.

My daily urban walking loop just under 5miles. I can officially start hiking again on Tuesday (post boot instructions). Really looking forward to that. Hopefully it will not be too tricky with the narrow trails, dodging people and stepping off trail since the rattle snakes are starting to come back out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We have been doing grocery curbside pick up of groceries. I heard all stores were backlogged so I placed an order a week ago for pick up tomorrow. I went back in the app to add a few more items and see that over 40 of the things I ordered are now out of stock. I wish people would stop hoarding shit, and I am not even talking about toilet paper.

Learn something new every day. I just got an email from Colorado Parks and wildlife along with a video of what to do if confronted by a mountain lion. Says there have been a large amount of sightings in town lately.

I worry about you Toast, that’s a lot of money on porn. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Reminds me of the old school blue laws in Ocean City. Half the store was roped off on Sundays, you could buy milk but not sunscreen.

Knew I recognized those peaks in the background at the end.

Gold Hill @Mayflower Gulch? On second thought no way that’s where it is because it would be packed with people Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have watched this about 5xs today and it made me smile every time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I found this really funny. Someone posted this on the Backcountry Skiing FB group. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Colorado too. News showed tons of cars again at Berthoud Pass yesterday. For the love of God, just stop and take a pause. Heard there was a sheriff at East Portal TH turning skiers away. I really don’t get the, “Everyone else is stuck inside but I am gonna get out and ski because I am special” mentality. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is awesome! I feel like there is a learning curve, and I am definitely still learning. But it’s a great way to extend your season and get away from the crowds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I spent a lot of time at Jilly’s growing up. Wish I had a picture of my super cool 2 tone jeans and multiple shirts with popped collars.

@indiggio been following all the mayhem. People need to just chill out, hoping this latest round of stay at home orders does something. @toast21602 thanks for asking. Monday I turned the corner and woke up for the first time without the “fog.” Still have a slight headache and have to take breaks from screens. Really wish I could read a book but don’t think I am ready for that yet. Tried driving Yesterday and it made me dizzy. All the fast eye movements I think. Bending over to do laundry etc makes me dizzy still. My studio is having online yoga classes but don’t think I am ready for all the head below heart moves, or balancing for that matter. Hopefully next week. I did get my boot off yesterday, however, so super psyched about that. Have to wait 2 weeks to hike but I can do neighborhood walks. @AtomicSkier looking forward to using it!

My latest email from the Town of Crested Butte says Gunnison County has the highest per capita rate of infection of all of Colorado. They are up to 52 cases, which seems insane.

Guess maybe I screwed myself. Bought Ikon before the panic and Epic just last week. I will blame the Epic purchase on my foggy concussed brain and not thinking clearly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just looked it up; Gunnison county 17, 246 Boulder county 326,078

Denver issued stay at home order yesterday and Boulder followed today. Starts at 5pm. I can’t get the stats on mountain towns/counties, but I get daily updates emailed from Crested Butte. As of yesterday Gunnison county had 36 cases (1death). To compare, Boulder county had 39 cases, obviously Gunnison county is tiny compared to Boulder.

@Schif I would say do not come to Colorado. Every day more and more mountain communities are saying they do not want visitors in their town. Most have tiny medical facilities and do not want them stressed by more COVID cases or by people getting injured hiking/skiing etc. SAR has also said their resources are stretched thin and asking people to just sit tight. I know Summit, Gunnison and now The San Juan’s have issued orders about visitors. Hotels are closed as are short term rentals. Red Mountain Pass (RT 550) just issued an order that no one is allowed to drive over it unless you are local. Berthoud and Loveland Pass were complete shit shows last weekend with people parked illegally and way too many people around. Cars were towed. I think soon, those two passes will close to recreation. All local trailheads within a 2 hr drive of Denver are overcrowded. i know this is a total bummer to hear, but honestly, stay put.
