COLORADO WRAP UP
So we just finished another great year in Colorado last month. Super time with Herb and crew. This year our whole pack got into the action and did some serious family camping. Here are a few of the pics from the trip. Let us know if you are interested in going next year. Limited spots available. Check out Kati’s blog outdoorkidsplay for more on our family adventure.
Our Colorado Adventure
We just spent the last few days in Flat Tops. The elevation is around 12,500 at its highest point. We camped at around 10000, but went up to do a little hiking, fishing, and running. Jamie and Thomas caught a couple of trout. We all hiked and then I was able to go for a marvelous run! It is absolutely breathtaking. The Bear Lake Campground is pristine.
Yesterday, walking alone back to our camp, I saw what I first thought was a deer. I then realized it was a moose, once it’s mother stepped out onto the road behind her calf. They are huge and extremely tall!!!! I have seen them before from a distance in Alaska. These two were roughly thirty feet from me. We stared at each other for what seemed like a couple of minutes. I backed slowly away and stopped when I heard Thomas calling for me. I apparently lost all intelligence and begin yelling to Jamie. All that came out was “Animals! Big!” The moose, totally unimpressed and not threatened, escorted her babe across the road. What an amazing experience!
Jamie will do a test float later today with Herb. Tomorrow we will be heading to Eagle Rock for the next several days staying in a cabin and then on for some more camping as we head back home the first week in July. We are having a blast!
Colorado, Here We Come!
Looking forward to heading out next week for Steamboat Springs. We are going to load up the family, bikes, tent, and driftboat for our summer adventure. We will camp along the way. First stop will be somewhere in Kansas. Jamie and I have begun to research where exactly in Kansas we might camp, and have a couple of possibilities. Any suggestions are welcome! Second camp spot will be once we cross into Colorado. Then JRFFA will team up with Herb of Yampa Valley Anglers hosting our clients on some great fishing. The kids and I will do some major exploring, of course, bike riding and a little fishing on our own. We will then stay a bit longer for some fun family time. This will be the kids’ first time to Colorado and my first time to be there in the summer! I can’t wait! Apparently, Allie can’t either. She has already packed her bag with enough clothes to last for a month including useful outdoor wear like dresses and dress up shoes. I will keep you posted as we embark on our journey! Happy Monday!
It’s going to be an awesome trip!
COLORADO. YOU BETTER GET YOU SOME!
Here are some cool pics from our adventure to Colorado. We met 8 of our peeps out there after Matt and me drove out with our driftboats and teamed up with Herb from Yampa Valley Anglers. We had an unbelievable time. All 8 of our folks are going back for Summer 2014. Due to the great success, we are adding a second week. This trip will be priced right. Let us know if you are interested. Spots are already getting filled. –Jamie
