Mountain Streams

We love four-wheeling and hiking and we are always coming across beautiful little streams like this one. If you look close enough you can see something 'white' on the other side of the stream....

Little Mountain Caves

Oh what fun for two little boys! We were just riding around on the four-wheelers, puttin' around the mountain, spiralling our way up to the top. Every now and then we would see a little trail that took off into some dark trees and timber.

Should we take it? You betcha. That's what we were here for. To see things we've never seen before.

So, off we go into a new adventure, wondering what we would find. It was a pretty steep climb a third of the way up, then all of a sudden the trail levelled off.

We stopped to take a rest and to explore. Looking up, we realize we had been on this trail before, because we spotted the little mountain cave. Fantastic! The boys weren't with us the last time and we wanted to show this to them. You can imagine the first words out of their mouths when they saw the cave.

"Can we go in?"

Off they climbed so I could take a picture of them. Little Ian, always has the same pose, I believe he is being "The Hulk". I know I have several more pictures around from that trip, that has the same exact pose. He is such a darling little child. And his brother Josh, has the same beautiful smile everytime, is doing what a good brother should do....arms at the ready to be sure little brother doesn't fall.

Four wheelers

Here's a picture of our four wheelers. The first is my husbands, mine is in the middle and the one at the back (three wheeler) belongs to our neighbor. Our neighbor bought this three wheeler so he wouldn't have to ride on the back of ours everytime we went camping, scouting and hunting.

One of our trips with our neighbor. His son is sitting, waiting patiently for us to get rolling again. Oh yes, I remember now that I told him I would have this picture made into a poster for him. I always have my camera with me. I'll have to find the ones of the deer hiding in the trees or should I say usually running away through the trees.

Outhouse on the Mountain

Four-wheeling around the old gold and silver camps brought us to this little outhouse. The guys just had to try it out.

Everyone having a 'sit'.

Campfires

Another one of our campfires. I used the flash on my camera this time. I tried to get a picture of all the stars that were out that night, but it didn't come out. Just dark as could be. The farther away we would walk from our campfire, the more stars we could see. We always look for the big dipper (it's the easiest to find). And always, we see a shooting star or two. It is so beautiful when you are camped up about 12,000 feet in the mountains.

Camping

One of our favorite times is sitting by the campfire at night. We love to go camping and hiking and hunting. Regretfully, this summer we were only able to go a few times, but I did get some pictures to remind me. Below are some pictures I took while we were four-wheeling. LynnH
