Last stop - Lake Travis and the Hill Climb

Lake Travis, where Bill's folks had a house right on the lake.
Below the dam. We walked the dogs across the bridge to one of the spots where Bill and his sports car enthusiast buddies used to race.

Doing the slower, bipedal version of the "hill climb." The road is closed off now to all but hikes and bikes.

Back across the bridge, which seems to be mostly used for fishing nowadays.

It's warming up, and Ouray needs a cool-down!

We go by Bill Sr., Orpha Maye, and Bill Jr.'s home. Designed and built by William Maynard Barton, Sr. in 1960, it's still standing and with only a few slight modifications (like probably the paint color!).
