The View from (almost) 14,000 Feet

Last Thursday, Jamey, Jared, and I hiked up Uncompahgre. We were probably 1/8th of a mile from the peak when the dark clouds moved in. We decided we better turn around and try again next year with an earlier start!



You can see the pointed peak in the background of this picture we took closer to the trailhead where we started.

Chipmunks Like Goldfish - Who Knew?

Moose Siting

One morning we went up to Deer Lakes outside Lake City to look for moose. We had a brief siting early and then stayed to fish,feed the chipmunks, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I'm glad we stayed because we saw a moose! She came down from the woods, waded into the lake and ate for a long time.

Lake City Fourth of July

The Fourth of July in Lake City is always a blast! It starts with a parade and then the fun continues with a day full of competitions for every age from under 5 to 70 and over. It is was extra special this year because Amy, Charles, Sarah, and Brandon were there! We ended the day with a hotdog/smore cookout up on the mountain at the home of some friends of Mom and John and watched the fireworks from there.
