This week we’re hanging out in Leadville where it has been raining…everyday. Not just everyday, but often all day. Since the beginning of July and the start of the monsoon season, we’ve been…

Last week we had Wildflower Mania, and now it’s time for Mountain Madness. Since those show stealing wildflowers dominated last week’s post, I though it was only fair to give the mountains equal attention. Starting…

The Ragged Wilderness as seen from the Scarps Ridge Trail/ Wilderness boundary + lots of snow/ Sunflowers on the side of the road/ Our office window view / Home sweet…

You know how nearly every town claims to be famous for something? Whether a particular food, a popular event, or that rock formation in the middle of town shaped like a duck,…

Morning drive on the Million Dollar Highway/ Our new spot in Crested Butte has a pretty nice out-the-door view/ An early morning hike finds wildflowers & a mountain view/ Our…

Just a quick update on our current location. Last Sunday we drove from Silverton to Crested Butte. Along the way we traveled the second half of the famed Million Dollar Highway. After…

Silverton is the ultimate Colorado mining town. There’s a whimsical main street lined with colorful Victorian buildings, lofty snow capped peaks in every direction, a historic steam train that rumbles into town several times a day,…

Our third and final week in the Durango area has come to an end. We originally only intended to spend one week here, so it was nice to have the…

Hiking high in the mountains/ Wildflowers & Mountains/ Found some snow!/ Our first rain storm in months/ The trees were happy/ It’s not a proper parade without the Shriners/ This…

This weekend we reluctantly packed up and said goodbye to one of our favorite boondocking spots. It’s always hard to leave when you find a place this wonderful- especially when it’s…

We’re still here in our super boondocking spot near/not so near Durango. Not much to report this week. No hikes, bike rides, or grand adventures. Just us hanging out, working,…

Despite what the name of this post suggests, we’re not actually in Durango. If you want to get all exact and stuff, we’re in between the small town of Mancos, and…

A day in Telluride means a ride up the free gondola for a view of town from above/ A resting place with a view at the top of the mountain/…
