It rained earlier this month. Enough for us to shut off the sprinklers and go camping. Now, I haven't been camping since i was 15 years old. I was determined to be trooper and enjoy myself. We decided to camp by Leadville. Only 9500 feet above sea level. The first day and night was so enjoyable. We fished a lovely reservoir and set up camp. The first night we feasted on steak and potatoes. Also I enjoyed two very good smores. During the night it dropped in temp and the little creatures came out to claw at our tent. It also snowed two inches.
Once I opened the tent and saw the snow I was done. The wind had picked up and blew all day long. I thought we had come to mountains to escape the wind. I know so little. I refused to be a burden and kept my mouth shut just stayed in the pickup all day long. I am very proud of myself for not complaining. My husband enjoyed a fun filled day of fishing. The night was very very cold and the little creatures came out again to claw at the tent.
The morning we left to Glenwood Springs it was beautiful out again. Thank god for that because packing up was relatively easy. We found our hotel in Glenwood and I took at a very long shower. My pregnant body just isn't made for roughing it. Too say the least I was exhausted.
The next day we headed to Meeker. Meeker is on the other side of the mountains, westward. It was really interesting to see a different part of colorado. There are so many wild flowers . We stayed with some great friends, Rocky and Sparky. Dustin caught many fish and shot many squirrels.
