Well, I went up a mountain again, it being the weekend in Aspen and all. (Ah, there goes my audience!) Buckskin Pass, perhaps a little too fast, and with a long detour up some rather remarkable scree fields. This is one of the trails you can get to using the bus, and on the way I stopped at Aspen Highlands to change buses. It's a sort of twee shopping mall-ette, but during the Winter it is an access point to some of the ski slopes, I understand. What do people do there during the Summer? Not sure, but there were people there polishing their cars obsessively. Really obsessively. Have a look. (There was a hand-written sign saying "Car Expo", so I guess later on people were to come and gawp at them.)
