We had such a good time, in fact, that in a couple weeks we'll be tackling our first two Fourteeners (kids, this is outdoorsy jargon for any mountain over 14,000 feet high), of which there are like 52 in Colorado alone. Needless to say, we'll be starting with the easy ones.
There were still snowbanks up at this elevation (somewhere between 10,000 and 11,000 feet) which made for great photos. But we had no idea...
That the trail would take us through the damn stuff. It was nice and hot out that day, so we both refreshed ourselves by putting little scoops of snow under our hats. Ahhhh.
Please, please, click on this picture to see the big version. It's just that good.
We looked a little goofy because it was bright out and we didn't realize we were squinting when we took off our sunglasses for the photos.
This is Ginsu Master Chris. He was so proud of himself for thinking to bring the cutlery like this. He laid it all out on a towel and then rolled the towel up and secured it with a bungee cord. Brilliant.

Lovely photos you have thar. We just went camping, too, to the Oregon coast. We were rained out and eventually gave up when the tent started leaking, but it was a nice trip while it lasted. Saw lots of waterfalls inland, then a beach with surfers was a short walk from our camp site at the coast. Now I can't wait to camp again, but probably with lots more tarps for emergency.
