Emerging from a cold and windy winter, and a long cool, wet spring we were pleasantly surprised by the mild and sunny weather up in the mountains, south west of Denver. South Park is not yet snow free but the sun’s rays are warm and generating a lot of runoff. Our trail was almost a stream by mid afternoon!
Our campsite was near a stream where the beavers are constantly making new dams. They took down a tree the first night we were there - saw it in the road on our way out!
Mike decided to rough it in the wild for one night - even Rocky was too scared to stay out there alone, so he escaped the tent and ran back to us. Michael survived the night - extra snug in his feather sleeping bag - Thanks Judy.
Ant and Allie preferred the luxury of the camper.
We all enjoyed a visit from Jason, Nicole and Stella. After a steep hike up to Jefferson Lake, a relaxed afternoon at the campsite and marshmallows around the campfire we were ready for bed soon after dark.
This is the first trip Rob was not with us - he was working all weekend and had to fend for himself. We missed him.
