Thursday, July 31st, 2008First, I’d like to recommend reading, Hiking on an Elk Trail, the beginning of this series.
Continuing…
I decided to show everyone the mountain where we traveled on the Elk trail. The total length of the hike wasn’t but four miles, but they were the most grueling four miles I’ve ever hiked. We began on the left [...]
Strawberry Park Hot Springs
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008Strawberry Park Hot Springs is located 7 miles north of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. It is on my list, ‘I want to visit’. The hot springs consist of three pools, each varying in temperature and are open year round. Five water falls are incorporated into the rock architecture creating one of the most attractive mineral [...]
Estes Park, Colorado
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008Estes Park is located in Larimer County, east of Steamboat Springs, along the Thompson River. It’s about a three hour drive from Steamboat, over the Rocky Mountains Trail Ridge Road and from Denver it’s about an hour and a half. A trip worthy of making despite the price of gasoline. Estes Park from the [...]
Feedburner Email Subscriptions
Monday, July 28th, 2008I hate technology when things don’t go right. It seems my feedburner email subscriptions weren’t being completed because I added it to the side instead of in my posts. What the heck?? I guess weirder things have happened. So, if you’ve signed up, or would like to sign up, this form below will guarantee you [...]
Hiking on an Elk Trail
Monday, July 28th, 2008On an earlier occasion, Dalton had seen a huge bull Elk as we were driving and sightseeing. This big daddy bull Elk was headed into a secluded, elongated valley where there weren’t any roads. Now Dalton being the big hunter that he is, and me being the photographer I am, decided we would hike [...]
Red Marbles
Sunday, July 27th, 2008I was at the corner grocery store buying some early potatoes.
I noticed a small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged but clean,
hungrily apprizing a basket of freshly picked green peas.
I paid for my potatoes, but was also drawn to the display of fresh green
peas.
I am a pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes. Pondering [...]
Steamboat Campground
Sunday, July 27th, 2008Open year round, the Steamboat Springs Campground is THE place to stay if you’re RVing. They are the only full-service campground just outside of Steamboat Springs. They also have camp sites available across the Yampa River. The campground is located at 3603 Lincoln Avenue in Steamboat.
Longtime Memphis TV Weatherman, Brian Teigland dies
Saturday, July 26th, 2008Every night most Americans watch the news, weather and sports. They have their favorite channel, their favorite newscaster, sportscaster, and their favorite weatherman. For 25 years I lived in Memphis and listened every night to Brian Teigland, the familiar face, the familiar voice announcing the weekly forecast.
I was shocked this morning as I caught up [...]

WHAT the freak is that?
WHAT THE FREAK IS THAT?
This handsome buck mule deer posed quietly and without moving a muscle as he tried to guess our identity. I’d never seen a deer stay so long trying to figure out what we were. It’s our estimation he must have been 2 [...]
They Walk Among Us
Thursday, July 24th, 2008I was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up a $46.64 charge. I gave her a fifty dollar bill. She gave me back $46.64. I gave the money back to her and told her that she had made a mistake in MY favor. She became indignant and informed me she was educated [...]
