(jack) We returned to the Snowy Range to do some serious hiking. Made it to the top of Medicine Bow Peak (over 12,000 feet). We camped for two nights in Sugarloaf CG, which is where I used to go with the kids. It's gotten pretty fixed up now, and is full of squalling brats, RV's with generators, and people cruising all day looking for campsites. enough. Last night we found a place to boondock away from the yayhoos, and are much happier.
On the way down from our hike, we both realized that today is our 8th anniversary! What a great way to celebrate. And, I have to once again extol the beauty of the rocks in these moutains..they look like candy. Here is a nice green one.



and here's a heart-shaped rock for you know who! (sorry, it was too big and heavy to carry down the mountain)






later, we treated ourselves to lunch at the Friendly Store Cafe in Centennial, WY. I had a bowl of killer gumbo made by Chef Dave.



(nancy) The camper is smaller than it was and is driving me crazy; I was going to add some storage before we left and didn’t get to it. It will be interesting to see how in the world we last for months in it. This is by no means an RV, which is both good and bad. Here's a photo from Arnold Architectural Digest, Summer 2006 Issue.
(Every time we stop to camp, we need to move all this junk out and start excavating. We probably spend an hour a day just looking for things).



Here's a couple photos from Colorado a few days ago, including a cool old house in Crested Butte, made in to a work of art.
