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!
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.
