Kentucky Lake, Sam A Baker


Look at the addition in this pic! Dream on Sara....

Paige and Katie
Eric
Ethan

Caleb caught a 4# small mouth bass

We just returned from Kentucky Lake and Sam A Baker. The first part of the week was spent with Dwayne and boys and rest of the week we met Debbie, Paige, and Eric at Sam A Baker. The boys had a very successful week of fishing and the rest enjoyed swimming and biking at Sam Baker. BTW I met a friend when we were leaving and she (Wanda) informed me she had internet at the cabins and they are planning on extending it to the campgrounds. GREAT!

More Great Memories!

Notice our "shower house". Had to park near a stream to supply the water.
And yes, the water was warmed by a solar bag. Oh the conveniences of camping or the lack of.
This iris was beautiful blooming in the 10,000 elevation with temps in 20's
A road we had just came over on the Monarch Pass.

Back home after traveling about 2500 miles. We stayed mostly in the Gunnison area in the National Forrest. As I said before "NO" campgrounds--only where we pulled off and set up our own camp. The scenery was absolutely great along with our "bestest" friends which made for a wonderful time. The temps at night were in the 20's and 70's during the day.
Before we arrived in Colorado and met up with the Hogan's, Henry had an accident with his bike and broke some ribs. But a sport like he is....stayed and suffered so they could ride together. He didn't ride as much as Arlin, 500 miles, but still was able to ride some trails.
Although these are great memories we are already thinking about the next adventure.
Our Grandkids think we are hilarious (or crazy) riding the 4-wheeler on Colorado trails.

Hogan's left us...



Check out the railroad at the Alpine tunnel, interesting site.

This morning the Hogan's left for MO and we are spending a few more days before returning home. We just left the North Pass and not sure where we are heading. Arlin has managed to put on at least 500 miles on the 4-wheeler.
