Riverbend Resort South Fork

... no thanks. We would have before, but the trail was much better now and a camp ground was 2 miles away, which conveniently had an old log cabin to shelter in. It wasn’t anything more than 4 walls and a roof but it was heaven after such a hectic day. What we had forgotten was we were out of water. The map instructions said all river and creek water was contaminated due to the rich iron and minerals in the rock so we collected some snow to use for dinner. It didn ...

... Basket. This alone made Christen fall in love. In ours were a banana muffin, a chocolate chip muffin, a biscuit, strawberry jam, and real butter. Yum. We went on to have huevos yucatecos (corn tortilla, black beans, scrambled eggs, and cheese, smothered in green chile sauce - yes more chile sauce), served with pan fried potatoes and pan fried bananas! Double yum. We also had a short stack of their atole pinon pancakes - read ...

... watch the movies being played at the Drive Inn theatre from the comfort of your room as all of them have a speaker box in the room to hear the movie. Really different and really nice.

Hey this blogging thing is fun! Good idea Dad! Shoot me an email or post a comment and let me know how this is working and what I can do differently to make it more fun.

... s 64 colors, he would have used Sienna, Burnt Umber, and Brick Red for these cliffs. At night, the Big Dipper's pin pricks of light were framed by the pines and the mesh ceiling of our tent. Again, perfect. Morning's light found us with some hours to kill before we had to tear ourselves away from this mountain paradise, and providence also provided two retired brothers who were volunteer campsite directors to point our way. If the Car Talk duo had decided ...

Along the way from Denver southward to Colorado Springs, I finally got tired and it became necessary for Randy to drive. It was his second time to drive. The shifting was still not yet smooth, but it worked. The bad part was that there wasn't much room to pull off to the side, so he had to maneuver going from first gear onward a few times. Before, it was a simple first to fifth and then cruise, but this was his first time stopping and going. I tried to talk him through it and I ...

This was an amazing place of respite after my first solo backpack into the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness, complete with crazy hailstorm/thunderstorm and many revelations. It was $35 to camp here or $75 for a yurt, $12 to soak. I've heard that the bodywork done here ...
