Taylor Park Ride

6/29/2018

We bought a "new to us" Jeep Wrangler in May and have been enjoying every back road in our neck of the woods.  This trip has more roads than we can shake a stick at.  Surprisingly, I didn't take that many photos...just enjoying the outdoors I guess!

Spring Creek cabin - I love these old structures and wish these walls could talk.  I'll bet they'd have some interesting stories.

The Jeep high in the Rockies.

Lots of high views

Sad part is this was a very dusty ride.  The roads were powder.  There hasn't been any rain up here in weeks. Lunch spot.

 

Taylor River and the Collegiate Range.  The Lord is an amazing creator and artist...I just try to copy His work.

Hiking for Wildlife Photos

6/18/2018

This outing was trying to get some wildlife photos.  I didn't run on to any big game, but did get a couple bird photos.  It was fun regardless.

Pine cones in the making

A columbine - my favorite wildflower.

Cimarron West Fork

Went for a ride and photo journey up the Cimarron.  It was a beautiful day with plenty of amazing views of these mighty mountains and God's creation.

Blue Lakes Hike with grandkids

6/12/2018

It's always a treat to hike with the grandkids.  They are lots of fun and fortunately enjoy hiking as much as grandpa.  Low snowpack this winter made this an easy hike.  Normally it would involve lots of snow crossing this time of year.  I had a great time - you guys are soooo much fun!

Everybody taking a break.  Ryan...look at the camera!

Marsh marigold

These people need a snack every five minutes...haha

Katelyn...stay off that log!...she didn't!

Garrett & Ryan

Of course there was lots of rock skipping and throwing.

Grandma wouldn't let us come home without a poser shot.

Fun times on the way back down the trail.

Wow, love that blue!

I am a blessed man...gorgeous places like this to hike and the physical ability to get there...and fantastic grandkids to share it with!
