Camping, Touring, Riding, Raving....

Lush and plush.

Renee-ving with her glow-sticks at the campsite.

We all were....cant'cha tell?..but really, we had lots of glow sticks...even wrapped a Nerf football with some...wish I had picks of the glowing spirals. Good clean fun. At least before the mosquitos arrived.

Columbines polluted the trails..I wanted to pick some just to be bad...there were so many.

Along with other lifeforms

Yummy, dinner for the camp. Seriously, it looked like the bacon that was being fried the next morning--I hate bacon.

...except for turkey bacon...mmmm breakfast.

The art of pine beetle--get used to it Colorado, it's the new brown. Instead of evergreens, we have everbrowns now.

But plenty of good stuff beyond the pines.

ok.......you gotta name some of the trails!!

ok.......you gotta name some of the trails!!

I call the first one George.

and the rest Thelma.

Otherwise they are the most popular trails around....aka Spring Creek, Mad Creek...anything with creek in it.

We were raving and partying more than really riding, I tell ya. The fireworks were cool too....and hearing the neighbors generator running all day till midnight...wow, what a treat....I guess peak oil isn't really a threat. We had to tell them that sleeping was better than their kids playing playstation all night at a campground. It was a natural disaster in modern times.

Awesome. I've never seen a purple spider, I guess until now.

I've been to Steamboat three times and would like to consider getting a place there someday, after the renovations are all done to make sure it doesn't get too built up, but I've never been there during the summer. It looks great.

Did a bear get that deer? What other predators do they have in Colorado that could take down a deer? (Mountain lion?)

 

[scorpionwoman]

Some gorgeous shots in there. Wow.

Nice pics, it was beautiful in the 'Boat last weekend. While trying out my new night lights I almost ran over a skunk. Disaster narrowly averted.

That is an 8 mm fish. I borrowed it and thank goodness because, if you can find one used, they are horribly expensive and more of a novelty. I wouldn't likely buy one.

That's what we've been missing at our campsites...

Well, duh.....why would the kids want to be outside when they can be playing PS3 and watching movies all day? That's good parenting, I tell ya!

Awesome shots, btw!

You're right. It was early, though, so I'll blame it on a lack of coffee.

 

[Frozenspokes]

Nice shots Rich. Good to see you posting up some Passion shots.
