After a day of four wheeling on the China Wall road Jennifer and Craig and their two kids arrived quite late Friday night the 24th and didn't get their vintage camper trailer set up until the wee hours of the morning so we spent the next day ambling around the local tourist sights. Visits to both the Hornbek Homestead and the Florissant fossil bed were both educational and relaxing.

Craig's Jeep is temporarily out of commission so they pulled the camper up with their pickup truck. A cute little camper it came fully stocked with vintage appliances and cookware. Quite a steal actually.

The Florissant fossil beds reminded us that this beautiful country has not always been the way it is today. Once very active in volcanic activity the area used to be a massive forest of Sequoia trees, tropical plants and exotic animals. These are petrified Sequoia tree stumps from a couple million years ago.
