Chasing the Milky Way on the Road to Leadville

Two years ago I hiked into Mayflower Gulch to photograph the Milky Way, only to be foiled by clouds. This spring I had the opportunity to return again, or photograph the Milky Way in another nearby location.
I was torn, should I join a group of fellow astrophotographers at Clinton Gulch Reservoir, or should I take the chance to return to Mayflower Gulch? Or, on a night with amazingly clear skies all across Colorado, should I try and do both?
Watch the video for the epic results.
