So we both thought this weekend would be the perfect opportunity to go
backpacking, we have family coming in the next two weekends and after
that it starts to get cold. We were both pretty excited to go and we
decided on Lory State Park for convenience. We both got home from work
a little early and headed off. the hike up wasn’t bad, a lot of switch
backs and rocks to avoid. I was the one with the camera so most of the
pictures are what I saw, for most of the evening it was Derek’s butt he
was leading for the most part, but when we did stop the view of Ft.
Collins was very cool. We found our camp site and set up the tent which
took only a few minutes, then we had dinner as both of us were
starving, I never knew ramine would taste that good. After dinner it
started getting really dark and we started hearing some loud noises, we
finally figured out that it was the drumline from the high school
football game. So even trying to get a way from the city it was still
there. Sleeping was an ordeal, as the dog was not quite sure what the
heck was going on. Saturday was uneventful and we got off the mountain
in about half the time it took to get up, as that is always the way
things go. Enjoy the pictures.
