colorado day 2.

Today I started out with a nice cup of coffee and this view. We rode around a little on the mule and enjoyed the nice, brisk morning air. After a big breakfast of eggs, bacon, and biscuits we took off to Cottonwood Lake. It was completely frozen! We walked out across it and found some fishing holes. I tested the thickness of the ice and found it to be over 3 feet deep.

We went to Bill's Ski Shop to get our skis and accessories and socialize with the locals. After talking to George, who had worked in the mines in Leadville, CO for 26 years and passed out Valetine heart candies, we went to go four wheeling. We rounded up a mule, rhino, four wheeler, and a jeep. As we kept climbing up the mountain the snow just kept getting thicker and thicker until we finally were defeated.

Tomorrow we will hit Ski Cooper!

colorado day 1.

So we made it to Colorado. We left at 4:45 am this morning and arrived here a little after 5:00 pm. My grandparents cabin is in a beautiful, scenic location. This is a picture of the bridge behind their cabin crossing the Arkansas River. Tomorrow I'll get my snowboard and hopefully get to get on the slopes some.

right now.

The room is filled with men and coke
And I don't break 'til midnight shock
Are you feeling warm tonight?
Turn it down? Well, I just might
The room is filled with ancient apes
Where I've been and what I ate
What I asked you drill them out
And ... every little doubt
The room is filled with gummy bears
Electric shavers, ingrown hairs
I keep the curtains high enough
You sleep on cotton, rest in fluff
The room is filled with catalogues
Encyclopaedias, books enough
To keep me busy in the morning
Sun sets fast without warning
The room is filled with cords and plugs
Electronic translucent bugs
And what's that crawling all around?
What's that twitching, is it still alive!?
