Camping at Buffalo Peaks

Sunny skies were on the agenda for Monday morning and that's just what we got!!  By 9:00am we were out the door!  Glenn and I were in his pickup pulling the 5th wheel - Patty and Leonard drove their pickup which had their ATV in the back and then pulled our ATV trailer!

The nice thing about Buffalo Peaks is that it's close - only takes about 45 minutes to get there, plus the road construction time!!  Glenn had a place all picked out for us and it was empty so we set up camp, unloaded the ATV's, packed a lunch and we were off!!

Patty had never really ridden the ATV much before so she had no idea what to expect - but she enjoyed it immensely and had a great time!!

These two - always cracking jokes and goofing off - don't u just love Glenn's bibs?

We stopped for lunch after probably the hardest trail - rough and steep - up to the forest service cabin!  I think Patty was ready for a break!!

Check out Glenn's UNCOOL goggles!!  Not sure what he was doing here - being himself I guess!!

There was a fire in the next county and you could see the smoke for miles - at first we thought this was clouds but no, it was the smoke from the fire!!

As you can see it was chilly in the mornings so we were in sweatshirts!!  But of course it got warmer as the day went on and we would be down to our t-shirts!!

I love the mountains around Buena Vista - they are so pretty!!

After a day of riding we enjoyed just relaxing on our NEW chairs that Glenn and I got for our birthdays.  The guys went out for an evening ride and found a new trail for the next day while Patty and I just hung around camp!

And so ended our first night camping after a great day of ATVing!!
