We finally went backcountry camping and it was fun despite the odd weather. It rained nearly the entire time. But it was awesome. We hike 7miles in on Friday. It was beautiful. About an hour after we arrived to the campsite and set up camp, the rain came and it didn't leave us. The campsite was at Thunder Lake in Wild Basin (still apart of RMNP).
We made delicious food, explored around the lake and slept a lot. On our way out, it poured on us the entire day. Thank goodness we invest in good gear and after the trip, we added a few more camping necessities to the wish list. Nothing tasted as rewarding as that dominos pizza when we got to our warm dry abode.

It seems like any free time we have we are busy (so is it really free time, I donno? non-work time for sure). This coming weekend is no exception. We are meeting some of Kevins high school friends at our Lake City, CO house!! It's so beautiful down there. We might be hiking a 14er or two. Enjoying good company is definitely on the list.
