My friend Dave and I went up to Longs Peak Trail to snowshoe. It was a beautiful December day - clear, crisp, and sunny. We got up about 2 miles (0.5 miles below tree line) at which point it got cold with guts up to 80 miles an hour. We didn't make treeline, but had a great day. As we drove back to Boulder, I got the craving for Chinese food.
Voila - Lyons has a chinese restaurant called Royal Wok on the main street through town. We stopped in - it's a spacious, clean restaurant. We were the only patrons (it was 2pm). A mother and what appeared to be her son served us. The food was perfect - standard chinese fair, but extremely tasty. I had egg drop soup and veggie egg foo young. The portions were huge and the food was incredibly inexpensive ($9 for the two of us). Steadily flowing hot tea finished things off.
