Our quest for eating healthy this year continues. If only chocolate chip cookies were good for you. Sigh. Mark has another triathlon on the horizon and his training is going to be ramping up soon so we really need to get our nutrition in order. No half marathons for me this winter, just a bunch…
Labor Day – Honoring the Workers
Labor Day was set aside way back in 1894 to honor the American labor movement and contributions made to the strength, prosperity, laws and well-being of our country. It also marks the unofficial end of summer, a time folks in hot Arizona are welcoming with open arms! Enjoy your day and thank those that are…
Lost in Jasper
We had big plans for our second and last day in South Fork. We stopped to buy t-shirts across the street from the campground and Mark chatted up an employee. She said the ride to Platoro was fun and a good place for lunch. After dinner the lackluster map was spread out on the table…
RZR Adventures in South Fork
The next stop on our week-long RZR trip was the teeny tiny town of South Fork, Colorado. When I say tiny, I mean tiny. There isn’t even a traffic signal in town. Our home base was Peacock Meadows RV Park on the edge of town. We wanted to try the trails around South Fork after…
First Blogversary!
Today our little baby blog turns 1! I can’t believe it’s been an entire year already. I toyed with the idea for a few years but it wasn’t until last August that I decided to jump in with both feet and just do it. I am so glad I did! I made what I thought…
Gulches, Lakes and Mines
Our last day in Silverton came way too soon for my liking. We were having a great time and there was so much more to explore, I didn’t want to leave. As we were getting things together for the day, Ray our fabulous camp host stopped by to find out where we were headed so…
Stony Pass, Kite Lake and Rio Grande
Our second full day exploring the trails from Silverton was going to be epic. While reading up on the area, we discovered that we could get to the headwaters of the Rio Grande River. That would be so cool to see. Now, in my head, the headwaters to a river are more like a spring…
Colorado’s Famous Alpine Loop
Our Colorado RZR Adventure was about to begin! Sitting around the fire the night before, our fabulous camp host Ray stopped to ask where we were going the next day. Mark grabbed our guide book and they went over the route. Our plan was to take the famous Alpine Loop over to Lake City for lunch…
Climbing Kendall Mountain
Of course we started our Silverton adventure soon after arriving. After we got settled in and everyone was ready, Mark looked in our ATV Trails Guide Book for a nearby trail that wouldn’t take too long. In addition to the guide book, we also use the Polaris Ride Command App. Many times it will have…
Red Mountain Motel & RV Park
Our home base for our Silverton RZR adventure was Red Mountain Motel & RV Park on the southern edge of town. There are a few RV parks in town but only Red Mountain was able to accommodate our group of five rigs. Silverton recently voted to allow off-road vehicles to be driven in town on…
