Looking for good weather in all the wrong places...

I did get one break today. When I went in the afternoon, the wind was howling at the Royal Gorge bridge. Flying the drone yesterday when it was windless was a happy decision. Today I did the walking bit:

The bridge is impressive from any angle! You can walk across and stare back at the span:

They have zip lines and cable cars strung across the gorge, but it is now off-season, so nobody was riding them. They also have a giant swing hanging from this frame. One shrieking female rode it a couple of days ago, but I've seen none since.

Actually, I came in early in the morning and put the drone up, but was almost immediately accosted by one of the Pothead State's employees.

The weekend forecast is ugly, so I'm racing off to new targets today. Guardian angels under great pressure...
