Fun in the mountians

Yesterday a friend and I went to Estes Park Colorado to do some mountain climbing. We stopped at the side of the road where you come into Estes. It was a place that you would be able to view the town that is in the bowl of the mountains surrounding it.

At this place they have these little Squinnies or Chipmunks, I really dont know the difference between them, that would come and be friendly with you. If you sit still they will come and run all over you. You can even feed them like we did. I made sure that we brought some bread to give to the little guys.

We then walked down from the road and became engulfed in trees. Every once and a while we would come to a clearing but it didnt last for to long. We came to a clearing on a hill and that is where we decided which mountain we would climb.

On our way to the mountain we found a lot of deer heads that where just bones. I felt bugs bunny would come and try to give us false directions to the area we needed to go to. It was weired just seeing the skeleton head, there were no other bones left.

When we got to the foot of the mountain the entire vegetation changed. It was night and day different. One side had grass and brush while the mountain had more of a desert type feel to it with cactus and lots of rocks. My friend ended up sticking his hand in some cacti which didnt look very fun, but was funny at the time.

The way up the mountain was tough we kept switching directions. Some of the rocks we couldnt climb up because they where smooth and went at an angle. It took us a long time to get up to the spot that we wanted. We went to a spot where the cliff over looks the town very beautiful.

Going down was completely different. It was hard really hard. But we came down without getting hurt so that was good. And we finally made it back to where I parked the car.

We were not suppose to go where we did but we didnt see the sign no trespassing until we got back. We did pass buy a beautiful house on the way, tucked inbetween to mountains with a view of the city. Over all Mission Accomplished.

good times with the gf.

This past weekend I had a really good time with my girlfriend. We went to many different places around Boulder and in Colorado. The best place that we went to was called Estes Park which is home of the Rocky Mountain tourist center or something like that. It is this little ski town that is tucked away in the valley of the mountains surrounding it. Getting there from Boulder was amazing. All of the mountains beauty on a nice sunny day. The red rocks marked the end of civilization and the beginning of beauty.

The town was a little touristy but that is ok because of the beauty that surrounds it. You cant help it great sights attract people. The little stores that made fudge and chocolate smelled amazing. We didnt stop into any of them because we ate right before we walked past them. The town was made on a stream which I found interesting. Water flows through the town and they have seemed to embrace the water way by building everything around it.

I also showed her around Boulder and she really liked it. The last couple of places where I have been she liked but she never talked about moving there. Boulder is different because when I talked to her on the phone she actually thought about leaving her favorite place in the world Chicago to come live here if I get a job. I hope I get a job at Crispin Porter + Bogusky, it would be a great start for my career. She had never talked about really moving to any of the places where I was except for now. So mission Accomplished!
