Tag along on our Colorado hunt / vacation! (Pictures are BACK!)

[Tim]

Sorry for the delay folks but when I got to just about the end of our trip Photobucket said I exceeded my limit on photo viewing capacity and flagged every picture.   It's a new month in their eyes so I'm good to go once again!   I was just too cheap to spend the $30 upgrade.....    ......

Back to the story.......

Tim,
  Thanks again for sharing your western adventure with us.

   Mark definitely did that Deer a favor by putting it down.

This was the first time I've ever really planned a "hunt / vacation" and I will say it's very relaxing.  Friday morning was spent packing for the trip home.  

We pulled out around noon and planned to stop in Ouray, CO for lunch.  Ouray is a small quaint town that sits right in the middle of a tight mountain valley.  Another Colorado gem everyone should check out.

3 hours later we detoured north through Gunnison for what I thought was the nicest town setting of our trip.  A small ski town, Crested Butte!   Wow, what a gorgeous town!  Mountains all around with a beautiful trout stream right down the middle.  It was getting late so we didn't stop, just cruised on through.

We arrived back at Mark's around 10 pm very tired and mentally wore out.  The next day would be spent relaxing, talking about the trip and enjoying the friendship.  Mark and I have known each other for 27 years.  Since we met I had raised two kids and he'd become a grand pop.  You wonder where time goes.  

Cathy and I flew out Sunday morning and headed home to Pennsylvania.

Here's a few of my favorite pictures from the trip.   10 days of perfect weather, quality wife time, great times with friends and a bit of hunting to even things out!

Gosh, Tim...you do know how to love life and live it!

Congrats!

When I get settled in TN, you and Kath come by to see me on your way somewhere, eh?

It would be our pleasure Dave.  Good luck my friend.

Tim, I was out there the same time.  We drove through the Black Canyon on our way to Montrose was our first stop. We then explored areas below telluride, Lizard Head, San Juan's for two weeks.  It was a great time. I passed on a bull at 18 yards because of fading light.  I cannot wait till next year to make some changes. I did  come  home to Delaware in mid August and tried to email you. Crabbing was terrible this year. Next adventure will be Mid October when we will be kayak fishing the Gulf of Mexico.
