Boyd Lake

We reluctantly left Rocky MT National Park and went down to Boyd Lake on the east end of Loveland. The good news is we met up with many friends in the area.

We arrived on Thur afternoon and set up the rig and headed into town for lunch when we ran into Larry on his way in the park to check out the campsites that we were all going to be staying at! We went into town and had a good lunch. Then Bobi came out after work and we had a small get together that evening before they headed back home.

On Sunday Larry and Bobi and family from Wellington CO and Tennessee came out to the campground and set up their rig for a few days of fun!! Dennie and Dee came up from Colorado Springs on Monday for 3 days and brought their boat. Dennie and Barb water skied, I attempted to ski but gave up after 2 tries, too tough on this old man!!

We had a great bike ride on Saturday with friends from Ft Collins and Maryls and Alan came out for BBQ on Sunday. JR and Karen came out on Monday nite for BBQ then brought their rig out on Tuesday along with Granddaughter and Great Grandson.

We had a real good time all week, till we packed up and headed for Colo Springs and Dennie and Dee's house for a day!

After relaxing for one day in the springs we then headed for Pueblo Reservoir for a weekend of camping and relaxing on the lake. We had a great time again and the weather has been cooperating for the entire trip.

We then headed back to Colorado Springs and stayed at Dennie and Dee's campground for days and nights. We had a good time and actually worked for awhile on redoing our bike rack on the back of the Fifth Wheel. We got it back up and running and it has been working great.

We then left to head back up to Nebraska to pick up Shasta, our dog, as she had been staying with my folks in Scottsbluff. She really enjoys staying up there while we run around the area!!

Rocky Mountain National Park

Here are some images of the animal life. On the patch of snow is a herd of elk and they were running around like a bunch of kids, kicking up their heals and having fun. It was great to watch!

here we are riding down from the top!!

After having a great time at Bockman State Forest outside Gould CO we left on monday and went to Rocky Mtn National Park. We always enjoy staying up at Rocky, the scenery is top notch and it is nice to sit outside the camper and look at the view right from your campsite. This a shot

of Long's Peak right from our campsite!!

We drove up to the top of the park and decided to take turns riding our bikes down to the bottom. The view on the way down was spectacular!! 12.5 miles from 12,000 feet down to about 8,000 feet. What a fun ride, so much so we did it again the next day!!

Rocky is well know for its large heard of Elk and Big Horn Sheep. We saw lots of Elk but did not get to see any Big Horns this year. We went looking for Moose, but they were also being very elusive.
