The Wife and I got to take our Niece out for a hike on the 4th. We got hailed on, rained on, and had a great day. Even Sparkey got to drag his 15 year old bones up to 12,500' on a 12 mile round trip. He was a bit tired when we finished.
Eel, There are three lakes, the middle one has some nice cutthroats. I didn't go after them this time, lightning above timberline ran us off before I got the chance this time.
I cleaned out the garage last weekend so the Bud's are gone. If you do need some help you can always call me or stop by in Palisade if you need a bed, shower, or whatever.
