Taylor Reservoir Camping

 Our first overnight camping trip of the season!  Always interesting to clean the toy hauler and repack it, check to make sure there are no water leaks from winter and remember where stuff goes!!  Most of the supplies stay in there but anything that freezes is brought back into the house - and we're still enjoying the fact to just load the razor in the back and take off!

Glenn was excited that Cottonwood Pass was open and we knew it wouldn't be super busy this early in the season!  But we were sure unprepared for ALL the snow on the pass - oh my gosh!!!!

We couldn't believe all the snow that was piled on each side - WOW!  They must have got a LOT of snow the time when we got 38'!   It will definitely be a while before all of this melts!

Glenn said he wanted to camp at Texas Creek - the nice thing about that is it's not very far on the dusty road before you take a right off of it - the bad thing is the Tx. Creek road was horribly bumpy!!  It was slow going!  We saw a great spot so finally found a place to park and unload the razor - we rode up the hill to the spot we liked and it was perfect!!  (and there was phone service too - always a plus!)  I took Glenn back to the truck and toy hauler and he brought it to the campsite as I drove the razor to it  We sure had a beautiful view!

After dinner, we went on an evening ride - we usually see moose at Tx. Creek and this year was no exception - there were 4 cow moose out here but I only got 2 in the picture!  It was a great ride - cold of course but that's what I love about the razor as it has a heater!

After a great breakfast, we headed out - it was pretty cold again but I had coffee in hand to keep me warm AND the heater!  The mountains surrounding this area were out of this world beautiful - snow, snow and more snow!

We soon discovered there was one huge logging operation going on - lots of large logging equipment and many piles of cut logs!

I never tire of taking pics like this!  Trees, mountains and water!!

This is my favorite "picture of the day" - might have to get it enlarged on a canvas!

And the day continues......
