Yesterday, 9 of us went on a phenomenal jeep ride high into the San Juan's. A crystal blue sky and mind boggling views made for a wonderful day with family.
Using a biking app, Jon was able to make this view of our ride....enjoy. (Click on the lower right to make it full screen)
Andy and Mason, on their trip from CT to western CO, first stopped at Mike and Jenna's and met Aspen and Tellie...both showing off their skills at sitting on a box. Beautiful and lively dogs.
After a few days with Grandma Rae and the rest of the family in Grand Junction, everyone headed south to Cobble Creek. Jon and Mary Beth took Aunt Romayne's 1972 beetle for a ride..... It used to live at Mike's but came over to be garaged for the winter and hasn't left yet. It's very cute and brings back memories of our first car in 1965. Mary Beth also had a '65 in her youth.
And then we headed further south on Thursday to explore Corkscrew and Hurricane Pass trails. Jon rented two jeeps (it's a very popular thing in Ouray but they aren't cheap and need to be returned CLEAN ). We had our trusty Wrangler and we headed up....
Chris and Susan (Mary Beth's brother and wife) joined us....
Mary Beth determined to get a picture of a columbine .... later we found acres of them in more accessible locations. The wildflowers are getting ready for their stunning display. Note a partial view of Red Mountain in the mirror.
We stopped for a picnic in Animas Forks.....click on to enlarge.
Hurricane Pass had only been cleared a few days before......
Must have been "take your llama to work" day......
Hi, I haven't heard from either of you in a long time so checked your blog. I see you are living the good life in Colorado. Certainly sounds like things are going great with your new home. We are doing fine. Had a great trip to Italy in May. Headed to Cincinati August 1. I really need to see Betty. Things have deteriorated I know. Enjoy your Rockie Mountain high. June
ReplyDeleteThat biking app is really cool!
