Fun with Texas family

Oh my goodness could there be anymore fun happening here. Between shopping, jeeping, fishing, I've gotten a tad behind on posting. Happily not done yet - Paul, Sherry, and Katie are here a few more days. Wow has time flown by...

Ah Crested Butte this fun little town. The crowds have thinned a bit which gives a little breathing room. I think we're in between festivals more for sure to come.

Cutbow and rainbow

Hurrah, not skunked!

Success at the pond. Paul, Sherry, and Katie caught fish. We took home two and had them for dinner. Believe it or not, two fish fed 4 people - they were giant. Sherry caught a second equally as large but it went back to live another day. Katie's cutsy fish went back in the water too, hopefully to grow up and be a big 'un like its counterparts. And no, if you're wondering, I don't fish, but love to eat them!

Jeeping for the five of us. The southern half of the Alpine Loop with a small detour to the American Basin. This was the scene of our famous 14'er climb (Handies) of last July.The flowers were drop dead gorgeous again -fields and fields of every variety especially columbines.

We were rained on off and on throughout the day but didn't let it stop us. The jeep aka Rock performed beautifully as usual. Lunch in Silverton, and a detour back after being stopped by yet another construction area that flashed 30 minute delay. Off we went over Owl Creek Pass, a new adventure that was definitely not a shortcut but well worth it. Wild country, and as you can tell full of big creatures. We were on the lookout but no moose or bears to be seen.

Camp 4 Coffee was a stop twice with me, probably happened as well when I wasn't with them. What is it about this coffee?!! Starbucks be green with envy.

Mojito and Maharaja of course!

Montanya for lunch!. They are now serving barbecue smoked out back everyday for lunch. We three say very good, come on down. Where were the guys? Sighting in guns at the Gunnison Gun Club. Yeah, well that's another story. Hunting season will be here before you know it...
