12 August, Wednesday

Time to leave Tiger Run Resort, didn't really want to but the summer moves on. Headed South towards Alma, Fairplay and finally our destination for the night, Buena Vista. The drive took us up to 11,650 feet as we crossed Hoosier Pass just North of Alma. We had hoped to stop at Alma and take a side trip to the top of Mt Bross. This is one of the 4 mountains over 14,000 you can drive to on a trail or road. Unfortunately the land owners have stopped all traffic across their property. Not even the hikers can scale the mountain.

We were amazed at all the new building that had taken place since our last visit to the area some 4 years ago. There are dozens of 'cabins' all of which have mulitple garages, many decks and lots of windows. The economy seems to be doing well in the area.

The campground at Buena Vista had really been improved since our last stay. New slots, new grass areas and long pull thrus.
