FINALLY - Camping!

We've both been itching to camp and ATV but life has just been too busy!!  But I knew we had 2 1/2 days before the next set of company came so as soon as I dropped off Kenzie and Aleah at Jaime's on Wed morning, we headed out!

Our plans were to go to the north part of Buffalo Peaks, over by Buena Vista, but when we arrived the gate was locked for elk calving season!  We knew they did this but didn't realize the dates of the closure and we were just a few days early!  I wrote down the dates in my phone so we'll remember for next year!  So headed over to Poncha Pass and found a nice spot to camp, although we were disappointed there were so many people out that way camping!  Luckily almost no one was ATVing so we had the trails to ourselves!

Just as soon as we got the 5th wheel in place, I happened to look out the window and there was a turkey walking by!



We went for a ride on Wed. late afternoon and spent about 6 hours on the trails Thursday!  Always a great time and beautiful scenery!


Of course there were no campfires allowed - I think the entire state of Colorado is on a fire ban due to the dryness!  We had hoped to ATV a few hours on Friday morning but Glenn's shoulder was hurting him so bad that he said he just couldn't do it!  Which means it is time to get an appointment with the dr for an MRI and finally deal with this pain that he's had for years!
