One month of Adventures!

You're getting a update on all of our adventures in the last month, all at once!

One weekend we took a drive to see the Fall colors. We drove up through Paonia to Aspen then to Leadville and back. All our pictures can be found here.

See if you can find Daisy... she's using her hunting skills.

While we were on the drive the VW Jetta turn over 200,000 miles. Yippy!

Beautiful...we were a little early for the reds and oranges but this was one of only open weekends to go.



We also bought a new car a couple of months ago for expeditions and camping. It's a Toyota Landcruiser. Here are some shots of some local trails.

We took a fun road from Colorado over into Utah and headed toward Moab.




This is the Dolores River which we got out and played in while looking for a crossing that wasn't too deep. Daisy loved it.



We also headed up into the base of the La Sals mountains, overlooking Moab.


Just recently we were in Utah for National Public Lands Day. We were with Greg's website, RockyMountainExtreme.com cleaning up recreational areas. it was a beautiful day. With the help of about 50 people from Gregs web site, in a couple hours we filled up the huge dumpster.

Then it was on to playing.

This is known as Waynes World it was so steep it was hard to walk up... let alone drive up! Our Jeep went right up without a problem.

This is the last big obstacle... it's called the Eagles Nest...but yes it is as scary as it looks. Everyone in our group has to winch up it.

And here's Greg, who takes me on all these fun adventures.

I loved the viedo. At first I thought they are stuck. but no. Did you ride with Greg up the Eagles nest hill. I think that I would have climbed it slowly on my own feet. Love the leaves just starting to turn.

Ahhh a new post. Finally. The kids loved the picture of daisy behind the tree. Phoenix thought he was so cool because he found her. Funny.

Looks like so much fun. I can't quite believe you live so close to where we lived for so long.

You went through some beautiful landscape. Jeff is driving to Denver next weekend and I am jealous that I won't get to see the fall colors with him. It looks like you are never short of an adventure with Greg around!

We camped at the Dolores River a few weeks ago. That was our last camping spot. Did you two go through Paradox Valley?

Hi Heather, we actually came from Glade Park, CO and down to the Delores River. If you'd like to see more pics the full trip report is here- http://www.rockymountainextreme.com/showthread.php?t=57820

That's a neat area, isn't it?
