20160813 – Back to Vail

1 Comment

After Winter Park, I decided back to Vail since the weather forecast calls for sun.  I’m on my way.

As I unpack the Suburban, I was a bit shocked at how much ‘supplies’ I have…  As you can see, I love my bins.  My philosophy is:  “If it doesn’t fit in a bin, I shouldn’t buy it…!!!”

That's a lot of crap.
That’s a lot of crap.

Since I’ve been out on the road for a bit, it’s time for wash.  And look… dirty clothes are in a what… a bin…!!!

Wash day.
Wash day.

What says my life is going great, then a Washing Selfie…!!

Another day of wash.
Another day of wash.

And guess what… my clothes have another room all to themselves again.  i could seriously live here permanently.

I hope they sleep well.

And the best part… this is the view I woke up to every morning.  Life is good…!!

20160806 – Mooses, a Hike, Brats and Beer

1 Comment

After a great meal with my friend Susan, we headed out on a hike to wear out their new puppy, Joy.  She’s a super sweet dog and has more energy than a nuclear reactor.

Just a bit up US40, we headed to the trail head for the Broome Hut, which is part of the 10th mountain division hut system.  Click here for more info:  http://grandhuts.org/about/broome-hut/

As we started on the trek with Joy, she was so excited to be outside.  About an hour from the trailhead, we ran into these lovely ladies, who were just lounging in the woods.  I love a MOOSE sighting.  They’re just amazing animals.

Hi Ladies...
Hi Ladies…

As we continued up the ridge, there were some incredible views of mountain fields, flowers, and creeks.

Of course, there’s nothing better than a hot dawg and beer down in town.  The sun finally came out and it was an amazing afternoon on the patio.
