Hey fam!
We have been camping in the Colorado wilderness for the last week. It was awesome! I posted some pic's at photo bucket. We had a great time. Only Kris, Zach and I were able to go. Jessie was in the middle of moving out and Mandy has such the social schedule that she was unable to make it. Actually Mandy is the captain of color guard and was at practice and fundraisers.
We hiked, camped, hiked some more, ate and slept. We hiked near Collegiate Peaks (Princeton, Yale and Columbia), and visited Cottonwood Pass. We were still climbing snowbanks to get to our destination, a mountain lake. We also visited Poplar Gulch Trail head and were near St. Elmo. All of this was just a few miles from Buena Vista.
I also gave some first time bikers a ride over Cottonwood Pass. We passed their fellow bikers on the way. Fellow bikers were less than happy. Rich did some biking in Colorado like 30 yrs ago. I would NOT bike Colorado. Imagine a fully laden bike in first gear, peddling so fast that your legs look like a blur and you are moving so slow that you almost fall over. I watched a woman do this! When I picked her and boyfriend up I found out it was her first trip...ever. She was dying but enjoying it all the same...sick.
Why is only half the family posting? Are your lives that boring or that busy?
Anyway, check out the photos. Look for Colorado Camping on the left hand side of site, they are in a separate album.
Later,
Dave

Oh my gosh David, I think it's just plain old busy-ness that we are experiencing here!! It's summer and I really want winter!! I love the snow, the dark and the just plain old cozy-ness.
Nice vacation for you three!! I am jealous! Hopefully Jess is doing well... and, well, as far as Amanda goes....good luck with that.
She cracks me up!!! Anyway, I really do have an interesting life... evidently.
