EB- III mountain fun in SW Colorado



Camped next to us for a month were our new good friends, Denise and Leonard, both retired Forest Rangers.  They were a delight and getting to know them was one of this summer's treasures.  Here they have shared one of Leonard's favorite hikes between Dolores and Telluride, in the mountains.  (They are 'resting' so Ava and I can catch up:)








We had done a raft trip on the Animas River through Durango with Mild-to-Wild and enjoyed it when the owner found out we were Workampers and Ava worked in the office so we were offered a "comped' jeep ride into the San Juan's and were allowed to bring a fellow workamper couple, Bob and Kim, along.  We rode up to 11,200' on a beautiful day.  Great Trip.







Another '"comp'd" experence in Durango was the chuckwagon dinner and western fun nite put together for a group of us from Echo Basin Ranch.  We got in for about half price and had an intimate campfire dinner with about 800 others.  Food was good and the musical fun was better.










Here's my kind of free fun. Downtown Pagosa Springs has plenty of 'pay-n-play' hot springs sites but we scouted out this free pool right on the river where all the local river-rats soak.
