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 [...]

I was excited that morning, anticipating catching a mess of bass for my skillet. We went up to Milford Reservior and fished near the dam. There were quite a few others fishing, but no one was catching anything. We needed a better spot. Being a visitor to the area, holding an expensive out-of-state [...]

found a quartz rock with gold flecks. Now, before you get your panties in a wad…it’s probably fool’s
gold. Nothing for me [...]
The Longest Hike I’ve ever had…
Sunday, June 8th, 2008I’m beginning to feel like my youngest son, who’s an MP in the Army. I keep telling myself this is not PT, as he calls ‘his long hikes’. On Saturday, Dalton and I decided to take another hike. We went to the Routt National Forest near Kremmling. For the most part, we were on [...]
Hiking Bear Lake, Yampa
Saturday, June 7th, 2008We went hiking last evening at the Bear Lake Area outside of Yampa. We scouted for wildlife while there, and sadly, only seen two deer as we entered the Routt National Forest and one red fox as we were leaving. No signs of Elk, Moose, or Bear which I would have liked to [...]
