Red Feather and Lost Lake

This past weekend we went camping with a large group of friends. It was rainy when we arrived, but the storm cleared through in the early evening. Only Nick, Jamie, and I were brave enough to take a dip in the lake. It was chilly, but totally refreshing. I find myself often drawn to rivers and lakes. There is nothing appealing about a pool filled with peeing children, dirty bodies, and so many chemicals the prior shouldn't matter. Taking a swim in an abandoned mountain lake is nothing short of rejuvenating and calming. The day ended with another beautiful Colorado Sunset.

Car Camping and Pawnee Buttes

     Last weekend, Nick and I attempted to go camping. Well, I suppose we were half successful. We wanted to stay two nights but only stayed one. It drizzled on us the whole time making it extremely difficult to start a fire/means to cook. During the night, it rained pretty hard and steady, and we woke up in a pond. So, it didn't take much arm twisting for either one of us to leave early and sleep in our warm, dry beds. On Sunday, we made up for our shortened trip by venturing east to Pawnee Buttes. The weather was perfect, and the clouds were nothing short of picturesque.
