Dad joined me for a trip down to my friend Jeremiah’s house On Blue Mesa Reservoir to pick up the 4runner, as they were done working on it. Foggy and snowy to start the drive on 285, but the sun was out for the trek through South Park.
After picking up the 4runner, I parted ways with Dad and stayed the night at the cabin to test out the sleeping platform. To be honest, this was one of the more enjoyable solo nights at the cabin I’ve had in a while.
Lots of animal activity:
6 Cranes in South Park. The usual deer and Elk spotting. Two pup Coyotes on the east side of Kenosha Pass ( heading back towards Denver). A flock of Turkeys just outside the property (usually see them once a year), and a Red fox having breakfast along Upper Bear Creek Road. Oh, and lots and lots of baby calves.
Morning views as we drop down into South Park.
Jeremiah was kind enough to get the 4runner to there place on Blue Mesa Res (outside Gunnison, CO) to help shorten the drive. Snow started to set in on there place as we picked up the 4runner.
Lots of baby calves outside Gunnison, CO.
Stopped to enjoy the views while driving over Monarch Pass.
The 4runner. Proffitt’s installed a new roof rack and Sliders. Powdercoated to match the cladding.
Guess it’s still winter at the Cabin. A foot of snow fell with the last storm.
On my way to the Upper Meadows. Making fresh tracks the whole time. I was a happy camper:).
Monkeys Face in the distance/
Not far from here, our property backs up to Mt. Evans Wilderness.
Monkeys Face again.
I was enjoying the drive.
Evening setting in.
Another of my favorite views from the property.
Spotted eight Elk on the property.
First night testing out the new sleeping platform:).
North to Squaw Peak.
Mt. Evans.
Dinner time views.
Early morning light on Rosalie.
Mt. Evans again.
One of the Toms I was able to get a picture of. Rest of the flock seemed camera shy.
Jeremiah got these for me a long time ago. Totally forgot about them. They were in the 4runner when I picked it up. Now I need to get them on:).
