Morrison Divide Trail, Muddy Slide, Routt County, Colorado
Sunday, November 16th, 2008We always go back. It must be the Yampa Curse. The Utes said once you visit Yampa Valley, you will always return. They were right, I can attest to that fact. We live in Yampa Valley, a beautiful, wide, expanse of valley that contains the Park Range Mountains, Rabbit Ears Pass, Gore Pass, and many [...]
Mandell Trail, Flat Tops Wilderness, Colorado
Thursday, November 13th, 2008Such untarnished beauty, a place of solitude and peacefulness, rugged and raw, untouched by human intervention. What place am I talking about? The Flat Top Wilderness, the place when hiking is mentioned that comes to my mind of the ultimate hike. The challenge I am preparing for myself. I’m jealous because Dalton has been there [...]
Snowshoeing Rabbit Ear’s Pass, Steamboat Springs, Colorado
Monday, November 10th, 2008Never in my lifetime did I think I would ever be snowshoeing! I always wondered what it would be like. It looked easy enough to do, heck-you’re just walking.

Last weekend Dalton and I decided to take a long drive throughout the northern part of Routt County for a look see enabling us [...]
Shootin’ ‘em up in Colorado
Friday, October 24th, 2008Almost sounds like a ‘how the west was won’ article, but not quite. It’s just Jeff, Dalton and I target shooting. If you’ve kept up to date, you know by now, we didn’t get that elk during bow season and if you’ve ever tasted elk meat, you’d have a drive as strong as ours!
