Heres the first of probably a few posts. As you may know, I had spent my summer on a hill here in Colorado. The experience was a learning experience to say the least. A chance to test my skill at one of my interests…..could I survive with the basics for an extended period of time. So I guess we will start from the beginning. I hope you enjoy the pictures and more than a few stories.
Heres where Celticgirl, Lakota (my dog) and myself spent the following 4 months and for a little while Celtics dog Chinook. The afternoon that we moved in it s had started sleeting and was cold. We had 2 days before the gates were opened and the campground started to receive other campers so it was a fantastic 2 days of solitude, a time to get acquainted with the surroundings and resources that were available.
Day 1: we got to meet Jerry the Garbage collector, He comes to pick up every Tuesday, and believe me after a couple months out there you only know what day it is by who is visiting, so if Jerry was there it was Tuesday. My boss (and also by the way my older sister) came on Saturdays to pick up my paperwork. There is probably more paperwork that has to be done with that job than actual physical work. redundancies in papers to fill out for how many campers were in the park , When they checked in, when they leave, daily weekly monthly 2 different sets of weeklys one a detail the other a overview. I guess thats federal bureaucracy at work . anyway.
Gonna change gears here and post more pictures with captions. Spent 20 minutes so far trying to get pictures to post and its fighting back. So here we go.
First dinner out there. Steak, sauteed mushrooms (no i didn't find these mushrooms, that comes later) fresh biscuits peas and a nice bottle of White Zin
