7 - 9 Aug This past weekend may possibly be the most action packed weekend of my life. Friday for work I drove out to the drop zone to catch sandbags from the herks and chase antelope (always a good time) while there I got a call informing me I needed hurry back from work to make the Rockies game in Denver. I met up with a friend from college who had visitors from back east along with other friends (all new to me). The game was a lot of fun, hom
e team won, big philly cheese steak sandwich, almost got a foul ball, good times, great oldies. Afterward, to avoid traffic we went to a lounge downtown which turned out to be more of a small dance club since they were under renovation. It was our group and a large group of cougars celebrating a birthday. Never being the shy one on the dance floor, i figured we might as well combine the two groups. The night continued with an action packed game of go-fish until we finally conceded to sleep around 4:30. 4 hours later we departed for the head waters of t
he Arkansas river for some white water rafting. Our killer team was selected by the head raft guide because he knew we would dominate, look at us, who wouldn't. It was a lot of fun, but I seriously think I could've canoed most of what we did (with a couple exceptions). By the end we had mastered the art of spinning while traversing the rapids. Colorado camping in the short tree plains is quite different from woodland arkansas camping, but smores remain the ever sturdy foundation to any good campout. The next day brought a 6 hour accent up my first 14er, it took the rest of our party 3 hours up, but someon
e has to be the gentlemen who stays with the lady for her safety (i know most of u are prolly thinking i'm just a biggo flirt/lady's man and must have been a little smitten, tomato tomoto) Either way, the weather held off and we were able to take our time and have the summit of the highest point in CO (2nd highest in the contiguous US) to ourselves... and a mountain beave. The weekend was topped off by a burger n shake for the long drive home, bed by 2:30, worthless the next day.
