Lazy River .. I mean.. White Water Rafting!!

Thanks to Living Social, Josh and I scored an awesome deal on a white water rafting trip up in Kremmling, CO on the upper Colorado river.  Of course I bought the tickets before I knew anything about the trip, and later found out that the minimum age for this trip is FOUR.  Well, I guess it would be a good introduction right?  Let's just say floating down the Boulder Creek in an inner tube is more white water than this trip was.  At least it was a gorgeous day, and what can be bad about floating down a river?  Add in some "hot" springs, a 30ft cliff jump, and free lunch, and I'd say we still got our money's worth.  Can't wait for some actual rapids next time though! 

The trip happened to coincide with a 3-day bike trip some of my coworkers were doing, so we met them in Steamboat at the end of their ride.  I think next time Josh might actually join them for some mountain pass riding! Yeah, not me. I'll meet you in the bar ;-)

July 4th Camping Trip

For July 4th weekend, Josh and I were lucky enough to be invited along on an annual camping trip with a bunch of friends. Someone had put up tents weeks prior to score this sweet (free!) camping spot, just 7 miles outside of Crested Butte. (Up Slate River Road) New friends, good food, relaxing, hiking, good beer... all in all, a pretty perfect camping trip!
