Eleven Mile

The drive through Colorado was breath taking beautiful. I was stationed here before, but never went though the mountains.  Really enjoyed the drive.  

 Really a great time taking some wonderful pics.

Driving through Colorado we noticed a cow on the left side of the road that had just had a baby and the baby wasn't moving, so we decided to go to the house and let the owner know. We went to the house, but the person that lived there wasn't the owner of the land or the cow.  he told us he would check with the owner about the cow.  It was sad because the cow looked at us while we were driving by like she wanted help.  

I also asked him if there was any place close boy to camp, and he told us next nearest campsite was about 20 miles away and gave us some directions. we drove the next hour looking for the campsite, and on the way  aw this buffalo and snapped some pics.  It was in a huge field by himself, just playing in the dirt.  He rolled around until he noticed us  watching, then just walked away. 

We finally found the campsite, and paid a box to stay the night.  We had to pay for vehicle pass and for a camping site.  We then drove around near dark, trying to find a place to set up camp.  Driving down the road, the lake looked like we were the only ones there, but once we rounded the corner above the hill we saw that this place was busy as hell with RVs and tents and camper shells all over the place. 

We found a nice spot for ourselves considering how busy the place was.  We cooked out at some hot dogs and had a few beers with some chips.  We also decided that we would no get up and take off right away like we normally do, and just sleep in until we wake up on our own.  It was a nice night, and very relaxing. 

The next morning I made a penny stove and heated up some water so we could have some coffee, and it was great.  I picked up this little skill on YouTube, and it's paying off now.  The coffee was hot and no real mess.

The next morning, we had several visitors that seemed to be going from campsite to campsite looking for left over snacks.  We set out some left sweet bread and snapped a few pics.  This place is in the middle of nowhere, so no signal at all and this is why I am updating late.
