COLORADO TRIP

Our trip to Colorado was pretty awesome.   We were traveling for almost one entire month.  From July 15th to August 12th.  We first stopped in Idaho Springs where a dear friend of ours has a small cabin.  We visited for one night then headed to Steamboat the next morning to meet some family who has lived there for several decades.  Steamboat Springs Colorado is a really nice small ski town with a very relaxed image and feel.  We spent a good 10 days there enjoying the sights, gondola, shopping, hiking, camping and some river play.  We did attempt to do some trout fishing but the mosquitos were really bad.  We were able to take some really great photos of our new belts and did some video as well.  Lots of fun.  We ended our visit with a trip to the hot springs there for an afternoon.  Great time.  We were lucky enough to stay at our cousins home which saved us a bundle of money.  
After our 10 days in Steamboat we headed to Golden where the same friend who owns the cabin has a home and woodworking shop.  We stayed a few days while he wrapped up some projects for a Sprinter van then took off camping near Bueno Vista for 3 days then near Aspen.  Aspen area was incredible.  It was like those beautiful photos you saw as kid of Colorado where everything was just perfect and beautiful.  We really loved that part of the state the most and hope to return next year.   
We made it back home to our Alpenlore shop several days ago and have been really working hard to ge!t back in the groove.  We will write more about our adventures soon but its time to get some stuff done around here.  Thanks for tuning in everyone!
