Romick Arena was packed and it was the largest turnout I’ve ever seen there. Half the people there weren’t from Steamboat. Dalton and I had ’standing room only’, and I guarded our spots faithfully. I had one run-in with some yuppies, I had been yuppied! Yes, yuppied!! You’d think that was some kind [...]
Steamboat Ski Jump
Saturday, July 5th, 2008
Sometimes its best just to keep your mouth shut…
Dalton and I went to the Howelsen Hill Ski Jump following the parade in Steamboat, I got a couple of photos and then…..my camera went down. Maybe it was overheated from taking so many pics at the parade …whatever. I only got a couple of shots. [...]
Steamboat Parade
Saturday, July 5th, 2008Festivities were set to begin at 10am and we got there at 9am, the day was going to be a beautiful one, partly cloudy with lots of sunshine. I was very surprised at the magnitude of this parade for being in a small community of less than 10,000. They really poured a lot of [...]

Fish Creek Falls
Sunday, June 29th, 2008This is the most awe-inspiring place I have ever been. To achieve this, you have to hike 5 miles up steep, rocky paths, along side of cliffs which I thought I’d never do being afraid of heights, to reach the pinnacle of this trip. The falls at the bottom are pictured first, you only [...]

Yeah…say that title three times fast! LOL
What better way to spend a Friday evening after dinner, walking down landscaped paths, smelling sweet fragrances, feasting your eyes on gorgeous floral arrangements and swatting mosquitoes every two seconds? So what if our pace was a little quicker than we wanted in order to avoid getting [...]

It’s coming up on our one month anniversary for living in Steamboat Springs. At first, I was appalled that everything here seemed to be geared towards tourists, not newcomers. But that stands to reason, this small, isolated community thrives on the business tourists bring to the area. The city is also known as [...]

South of Steamboat Springs, along highway 131, is a rock formation called ‘Finger Rock’. I searched the internet in hopes of finding something to write about this rock….nill, nothing, nada. No amazing facts that I can share with my readers other than the pictures I took. So, imagine what you will, just keep [...]

Stroll down the path or pedal your bike on the paved paths filled with grassy knolls, benches, and spectacular flowers. Sit for a spell, bring a picnic basket, watch native birds, butterflies, and smell intoxicating fragrances here at the Yampa Valley Botanic Park.
It’s open dawn to dusk until those fluffy snowflakes begin to [...]

*This story is dedicated to Richard G. Fox, beloved father of Dalton who quietly passed away June 12, 2008. He loved to listen to Dalton’s stories of Dalton busting broncos, riding on long, dusty cattle drives, and hunting elk and deer in the great Rocky Mountains. I only had the pleasure of meeting [...]
