Temperamental weather conditions persist. Here is what was happening two years ago. Think Spring. Environment:Start Time: 2:10 PM Temperature: 42 degrees Sky: Sunshine little breeze Today started out a little dicey weather-wise but turned into an extremely pleasant afternoon which transported me from my couch to the Rock Canyon trails at Lake Pueblo State Park. The Arkansas River was well populated with fishermen which generally is a good thing – everyone should be out enjoying such a day – but is kind of a bummer for me because all that river traffic cuts down on my chances of seeing Belted…
