Visiting ‘The Boat’ and ‘Riding Dino’
Thursday, March 18th, 2010Work today was business as usual, with Steamboat being 60% capacity with tourists, thats a little over 10,000 visitors. With only a few weeks left of the 2009-2010 Ski season, visitors are definitely having FUN. I had the pleasure of snapping this photo with a group of tourists. That is one of the fun parts [...]

From a Ghost to a heaving Elk to a Black Angus Cow?
Monday, September 15th, 2008How weird can a hunting trip get? This one, folks, tops them all beginning with a long hike back to a secret elk hunting spot and picking up a ghost who apparently wanted to go hunting. I promise you, though the sun was shining brightly, I was not delirious!
Gerry, Dalton and I decided today would [...]
Second Colorado Elk Hunting Trip
Friday, September 12th, 2008I am finally back to civilization after spending two days in the woods, climbing over fallen trees, over the tallest mountains, and ridges (and might I add to that, I’ll have the best looking buttocks in Steamboat),
tiptoeing on rocks to cross creeks (and cow patties) up one holler (yes I said holler, I am southern) [...]
Elk Hunting - First Weekend Out
Monday, September 1st, 2008This is my first experience elk hunting, my last big game hunting was 32 years ago, and that was deer hunting in Pa. Quite a bit of time has evolved since then, and I’ve found my body isn’t as spry as it once was to handle all the hiking involved. I hiked quite a bit [...]
Can I hear an Elk bugle, please?
Friday, August 29th, 2008Tomorrow morning starts one of the Colorado’s big game hunts, archery for elk hunting, and I will be amongst many who participate calling the big bulls. Dalton bought me a ‘Hoochie Momma’, a cow elk caller for those who aren’t familiar with this device.
According to him, it’s practically faultless, but none the less, I must [...]
Back to Flat Tops Wilderness Area
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008I can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday evening as we drove throughout Routt County and into Garfield County. It had been some time since we went down Forestry Road 910 off Hwy 131 outside of Toponas, Colorado. When out in this area, we love to stop at the Toponas store [...]
