January 14, 2016 - It'It's been a while

Life gets busy I guess. Over two years since I published anything. Not that I haven't done anything, just that I didn't tell about it.

Maybe I'll try and catch this blog up with details of past adventures later but for now I'm too excited to think about it. I am finally getting my gears for the Sammi! I guessed I have a hard time spending money. I've been talking about them for a few years now but they'll finally get here in just a few days.  6.5:1 t-case gears!!!

Moab Easter Jeep Safari here I come!  March  19 through the 28th. Went as a passenger last year. What a hoot! This year with the Sammi! 

September wedding, 2013

I had the privilege of doing another wedding gig this month.  It turned out pretty good I thought.  It sure is a lot of work though.  No wonder professional photographers charge as much as they do.

Meet Lacy and Doug!

Congratulations you two!

September 13th 2013 -Flooding in Colorado

It was just a couple months ago that we weren't allowed to go home all day because of a forest fire just up the road from the house.  That was a little bit frightening.  Now heavy rains and the little stream Little cub Creak, that runs through our yard is kissing the bottom of the bridge.  I actually took our one of our food bridges.  Hmmm..... Love living in the mountains but long winters, forest fires, floods?


This foot bridge.....

Is gone now!

There used to be a nice little park here.

September 6th 2013 - Estes Park

There is an Irish Festival that takes place in Estes Park, Colorado every year.  This year we took the RV up there to spend a few days.  What fun that was.  Irish dancing is kind of cool.  Takes a lot of energy.  More energy than I have, that's for sure.

Pretty Fancy outfits too.

August 31 2013 - Ouray, Colorado

Typically I like to drive the Sammi when I am exploring.  I don't get to always take it along.

My son-in-law Scott can't seem to pass up a tall mountain without climbing to the top of it.

He had one last Colorado 14er to climb before he could say he did them all.  I have no idea which mountain it was but we accompanied them to Ouray, Colorado for the weekend where he did what he had to do.

I have to go back to this place with the Sammi some day.  Lots of beautiful places to see here and I understand lots of great trails to ride.

They call this place "Box Canyon Waterfall and Park.  Pretty neat!

August 25, 2013 - There are a lot of reasons to live where we do

Late summer brings with it a lot of natural wonders if you look for them.  All of the animals around here look fat, the flowers are all bright, the tree leave darker.  Even the mushrooms look fat and ready for the cold weather with is just around the corner.

We plant a garden at the house but at 8900 feet it takes a pretty hearty plant to survive.  Mostly we just let the ones that grow naturally here do their thing.
