If you haven’t noticed, I’m a pretty big fan of snow. Luckily we live somewhere with an abundance of the white stuff, and it’s good for more than skiing and snowball fights. Saturday morning my friend Lewis McAll and I got an early start and headed towards our destination, Loch Lomond. Loch Lomond is located… Continue reading Snow Cave, Yes Please!

Anybody there?
Hello, is anybody there? Probably not, because I surely haven’t been here. Things haven’t been too interesting lately, and we haven’t taken many pictures, hence the lack of blog posts. Here is some new info for us. 1. I got a new job! I’m doing accounting at Save Our Youth, where Joel and I are… Continue reading Anybody there?
Yay for family visits
A few weeks ago, Matt, Erin, and Evie came to visit. We had a great time hanging out and showing them around town. Next time they come, Matt will be outnumbered 3 to 1! 🙂 We visited Boulder and the wonderful farmers’ market there. We picked tomatoes at our house. And we visited Rocky Mountain… Continue reading Yay for family visits
Little Matterhorn – RMNP
After visiting the Matterhorn during our 2007 trip to Switzerland, there was no question about visiting Little Matterhorn in Rocky Mountain National Park when we found out about it in my Colorado Scrambles: Climbs Beyond the Beaten Path book. The real Matterhorn: This time, we wouldn’t just see it, we would make the point to climb it!… Continue reading Little Matterhorn – RMNP
It’s Fall in Colorado
Last weekend, we took a little trip to the mountains to check out the leaves changing. Although I do miss the variety of fall colors in TN, the aspens are pretty spectacular as well. We camped Friday night near Kenosha Pass and then headed back to the pass for a bit of hiking on the… Continue reading It’s Fall in Colorado
5 Years!
A couple of weeks ago, we had our 5th anniversary. For our honeymoon in 2005, we went to San Francisco and Yosemite National Park. When Joel needed to go to San Francisco a few months ago (part 2, part 3), we figured that would be our main anniversary celebration since it was almost 5 years… Continue reading 5 Years!
Capitol Fever
In the summer of 2001, (summer after my freshman year of college) I painted houses for my summer job. That summer, I learned at least two things: I learned how to paint I learned that I hated painting I guess while high on paint fumes one day, I decided that my friend Jason Rice and… Continue reading Capitol Fever
Mt. Bancroft Success
Lauren and I took off Friday afternoon to avenge Mt. Bancroft. Read Lauren’s account of our failed attempt from a couple weeks ago. As discovered by our previous trip, the 4×4 trail is pretty rough. This time we planned to park at the first gate, and backpack in. We went a little further past the… Continue reading Mt. Bancroft Success
Bancroft Fail
A couple of weekends ago, we headed out for Mt Bancroft. We went as far as our CRV would take us on the 4-wheel drive trail before we gave up and started hiking. It’s a beautiful area with 4 lakes near the base of the mountain. As mountains would have it, storm clouds started rolling… Continue reading Bancroft Fail
Camping is fun
Oh yes it is. For part of the 4th of July weekend, we went camping with our friends Kyle and Stephanie in the Independence Pass area outside of Aspen. It is SO pretty. I guess we understand why it is insanely expensive to live there. We camped at the Weller campground, and our tent was… Continue reading Camping is fun
