Part 3-Coming down from the mountain

There is more coming on this from the beginning of the trip I promise but here is what I have so far.
This car was parked outside the subway I stopped at in Aspen. I about fell out! Who owns this kind of car in Aspen I ask you? But it was gorgeous to look at, not gonna lie.


This was a little roadside fun I thought about partaking in till I thought about the drive over the mountain in wet clothes. There were places like this all up and down the mountain. People fly fishing, rafting, canoeing, anything you want to take part in.


I climbed in the river. To cool off for a while. It was a lot colder than I had anticipated.



This is one of the log cabins I scoped out for my brother in law Steve. He liked these a lot until I told him the price.


The mystery of water and the beutiful reflections it can create when calm.



No mom, I was not driving and taking pictures.


More beautiful rivers along the way







Look how beautiful and natural the water is


Took this for mom, the aspen's you love. Not a bad background either. :D


Leaving the mesa's




Beautiful river stop


Mom's high school picutre back round, you guys will know what I mean




Mesa, I cant remember what the finger looking things were called. UGH! But basically this was all formed from volcanoes. There are little spouts everywhere that are little mini wanna be volcanoes. Scary but beautiful.



This was after going through the mountain. I kind of got lost trying to find the buffalo that I always miss and found this!!!!! Oh yeah baby.



AND >>>>>>OH YEAH, the BUFFALO!!!!



This is Mr. Buffalo



This is baby

This is a distant cousin who felt the need to be photographed and last but not least



The whole family








The teenage son


A deer crossed my path as I was leaving the Buffalo Reserve

This is actually close to Denver where my uncle lives. It was so gorgeous there. The city is very very close but there is a lake just down the street from his house, a dog park and of course the mountains as a back drop. GORGEOUS!

I finally got to see my friend of a lifetime Trey. We had not seen each other in 13 years. We went to Boulder, ha ha, I think she says her husband called it the rice cake kind of people. You know my type. Art, coffee, living life and enjoying it ;) . We found this amazing little coffee shop that had hot chocolate chai latte's. Let me just say OMG! so good. If you are ever there you should stop by, it is by the big statue of the elk. Dont ask what street that was on. I lost track. They have a lot of ethniv shops, hand made clothes, soaps, and my personal favorite street performers.
Well anyway, we had a blast and vowed not to let it be so long next time between visits.
This is Trey,
So anyway, thank you to everyone who let me crash at their house on this journey. Thank you for the amazing tour of the mountains and mesa and hidden valley. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the family and most of all thank you for strengthening my journey with God. Love you all.
