Our Adventures Through City and Backcountry
Today had everything. Cows on the trail (again!!), a geyser, another death road, the dearest of friends, the best Mediterranean food, a vicious hail storm, a gondola ride, and a Ted Cruz look alike who we spent too long convinced it was actually him. I don’t know how anyone could experience all those things in […]
Read More Day 21: Colorado’s Only Geyser and TellurideYesterday I forgot to say in my post but two nearly life changing things happened. First we drove past Ralph Lauren’s Ranch. After 10 minutes of driving past his trademarked fence looking at his perfect cows, and googling his house I think we have a new possible bff. Also, last night after we finished dinner […]
Read More TellurideBefore I start on today I want to go back to last night. We finished our pie then headed to the car where we got ready for bed. We were camping really close to the house and started walking towards the tents. The only problem was we couldn’t find them. We were walking all around […]
Read More Day 21“We’re gone travelling so far Take us in your car Bump it in the yard We grow and bring it back to you Never losing touch with what we’ve been through” Iration Usually chill days like today leave me feeling like we didn’t do enough. Perhaps it’s just the nonstop reggae that’s been playing here […]
Read More AutomaticToday was another lowkey trip day. We woke up fairly early and got on the road towards Ouray. We had plans to meet my dad’s work friend for lunch at 11:30 so we got to Ouray a bit early and explored the old miner town. One particular store was a Texas store which ranged from […]
Read More Ouray and Silverton73 days is a long time to go without seeing many familiar faces. Today, Zak, got to see a friend and co-worker. He’s worked at Joliet Central for 12 years and regularly talk about his co-workers. In mid May I met one of them for the first time. I then started to believe for the […]
Read More Day 20: Mountain TownsLast night my parents told us to get up at 7 am. I forgot to set an alarm but, as it turns out that was not a problem because at 7:02 the human alarm clock the I was tenting with started violently taping my shoulder and saying we over slept get up get up. All […]
Read More Day 20As far as adventures are concerned, today was a pretty non one. Unless you considering windshild repair and fire mitigation consultation adventurous. The morning was filled with waiting for the windshield repairer to arrive at the hotel parking lot. He eventually did, completed the work quickly, and we were on our way. The afternoon was […]
Read More Day 19: COhome (v)“With a little peace and some harmony We’ll take the world together We’ll take ’em by the hand” Hootie & The Blowfish Today was a very errandy Road Trip day. First up, Fred gained a minor chip in his windshield that needed patching. We’ve made the mistake of not getting these fixed quickly enough in […]
Read More Hold My HandToday was probably one of the boring days of the trip. We got to sleep in 🙌 and enjoy breakfast overlooking the Animas River. We had a guy coming to fix a tiny chip in the windshield by 8-12 so couldn’t really do much. At 11:30 he rolled up and soon our windshield was fixed. […]
