Our Adventures Through City and Backcountry
This morning when I woke up from a terrible night sleep I had no idea what we were getting into today. I didn’t know I wouldn’t be able to feel my legs or I would have to leap over trees on the side of a mountain thousands of feet in the air When we first […]
Read More Eagle PeakI have so much to say about today, but don’t think I have the creative energy to write much tonight. I’ll do my best, but bear with me. We woke up early at COhome and hit the road to the Johnny Bull Trailhead north of Dolores. I knew we were ready for a longer hike, […]
Read More Day 23: Eagle Peak“give us those nice bright colors Give us the greens of summers” Paul Simon At some point in the last couple days of not doing much hiking, we decided that we were ready for a big hike. We also stumbled upon the perfect mountain playground just north of Dolores. I was actually warned by my […]
Read More KodachromeI have loved every moment of the building a house process. From the get go, we’ve worked with the most competent, creative people at Kogan/Asher Custom Builders. (The company was sold mid-process and not a beat was skipped from our perspective.) We’re in the final weeks of the process and it’s time for us to […]
Read More Day 22: COhome (vi)“Where the haircuts smile” The Housemartins Today was another day that we didn’t do much, and yet the family rated it a four mountain day. It started off slowly at the HIE Cortez. I woke up at 6:30 and promptly started two loads of laundry. Then I got myself a cup of coffee from the […]
Read More Happy Hour“I can feel it comin’ back again Like a rollin’ thunder chasing the wind Forces pullin’ from the center of the earth again” Live I drew the short straw tonight. More accurately I drew the number 4 for shower order, which after two days without we were all in desperate need of. On a positive […]
Read More Lightning CrashesToday 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 […]
