On the road again, making our dreams come true !

Summer finally has arrived here is Estes Park. We've been having temps in the high 70's and the mid 80's a couple of times. We made a trip into the park the other day and took one of hikes at the high elevation. We were not able to do this trail awhile back due to the snow that was still covering the trail. The trail started at 9200+ feet and ended up just a little over 10,000 feet. The views that we saw was just unbelievable and I'm sorry to say the pictures do not even begin to show the true beauty one sees while hiking here. The hike took us about 2 hours to reach the end of the trail but as we told our boss here,some people hike just to get to the end and miss out on the things around them, we like to take our time, see the views, take pictures and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us. With that said here's a little quote for the day "The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely".





Randy and family came up and visited us for fathers day and we enjoyed spending the day with them. We went into town and ate then walked around town and looked for and found some more geo caches. We had a great time and I told them it was nice to have family close by to celebrate the holidays with. Look forward to their return this next weekend for the 4th of July.




We had our first opportunity to see some new born elk the other day. We were out cleaning some cabins when about 15-20 cows and 7 or 8 new calves came strolling through the park. This is first group we have been able to watch since they started birthing. They ended up settling down on an area of "new grass" that we planted several weeks ago. They actually stayed here for about 20 minutes until several cars started pulling into the park to take pictures and I guess they had enough of people and headed up the side of the mountain.
