We reluctantly back up, hitch up, and depart Steamboat Lake State Park, Colorado. As we head in a southerly direction, Al and I discuss the weeks excursion. We do a quick recap and then Al asks the question, “If you could pick only one place in Colorado to visit, which…

This past week spent at Steamboat Lake State Park has flown by. We’ve hiked, we’ve explored, taken tons of pictures, enjoyed a couple of great campfires, read, had some yummy meals, and relaxed. Watching the sky and weather change through-out the day, never got boring. I found myself changing clothes three times…

I was really hoping to rent a Kayak or Canoe today and get out on Steamboat Lake. I love being out on the water. Al’s hesitant to paddle and would rather rent a boat with a motor. “But I want to paddle”……envision a three-year old throwing a tantrum 🙂 “But, Ingrid,…

We watched the sunrise. We ate breakfast, drank coffee, and just sat while admiring the view. We hear cows mooing and sheep baaing. Al and I are both morning people. As a matter of fact, when we lived in Las Vegas, Nevada, my favorite time of day on the strip was 5:30 –…

Burrrr, its quarter to six our first morning at Steamboat Lake and Bear is restless. “Really, Bear. Can’t you wait awhile?” “No mom, gotta go, gotta go. Come on.” I gently roll out of bed and quietly throw on some clothes trying not to disturb Al. Bear on the other…

Wow, it was great sleeping weather last night here in Golden, Colorado. This morning we even popped the heat on in the RV to take the chill out of the air. This cooler weather has given Bear a burst of energy and at 6 a.m. he’s ready for his walk…

It’s yet another hundred degree day in southern Colorado. This summer has been extremely hot and dry. Al and I haven’t been hiking since our trip to Crested Butte. Even then, our hiking was minimal due to Bear’s limitations. Last summer we enjoyed a hike or bike ride along the Arkansas…
