During our two week stay outside of Grand Teton it had been pretty quite. Our days were two weeks of work days surrounding the weekend yak-packing. There was not much time to do much else. No hiking, or climbing, or kayaking… just work, and a little socializing with neighbors at...
This past weekend was a year and a half in the planning. During our visit to, and kayaking of, Grand Teton National Park in May of 2015 we spotted some boat in campsites on Leigh Lake and we just knew we had to camp there. From that day on, the...
So, yea, I’m a little behind in my blogging… Back at the end of August we rolled into Alpine, Wyoming to stay near enough to the Grand Teton National Park – as it was our destination the following week – but far enough away to avoid the Labor Day Weekend...
We left our overnight spot in the Aspen grove early the next morning. Even with some mileage cut off our route from the previous day’s extra drive, it was still a moderately long haul for the day, and we had two locations along the route to visit. We would be...
We left Ridgway State Park on Friday, right after work. 6PM is an odd time to leave a campground, I agree, but the benefit was that we got to drive 90 miles to Grand Junction that evening, cutting our Saturday drive in half. All we needed was a place to...
A lot happened since leaving Black Canyon, so sit right back and let me tell you the tale… After our overnight in the National Park, we puled into Montrose, Colorado and dropped the trailer at the local park. Now free of the large appendage, we were able to scout a...
A planned stop – or at least one added to the plan once we realized we were coming back into Colorado – and another National Park that Kerri had not visited but I had; Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. We had to cross the continental divide again, for...
Earlier in the week we spotted what looked like some great backpack-in trails. It became quite a possibility that we were going to hang around through the weekend so we could do just that. However, during our planning we found that all trails – that we wanted to hike –...
I didn’t do a very good job conveying just how much I have enjoyed camping up here above Twin Lakes, Colorado. We were lucky to have scored the boondocking spot we have. The place is beyond beautiful with a full 270 degree panoramic view on our own secluded hilltop. From...
We finally got to leave the “low elevations” of Longmont (only 5,000 ft) after the work week was complete. No I take that back. We didn’t just leave, we high-tailed it out of there. By 8:00 am we were dumping our tanks. By 9:00 am we were finishing up getting...
