The saying "If you are lucky enough to live in Colorado, you are lucky enough, is so true. We decided to drive up to Mt. Evans on a whim yesterday and even though it was a bit overcast the scenery was still so spectacular you don't even mind. We headed for our favorite stop on the way to the top where we have been so lucky to see several Rocky Mountain Sheep. What do you call the young'uns, calves, lambs, kids or what? Anyway, we got some great pictures of them hiding in the rocks and such.
Of course I had planned on doing a geocache or two along the way as I knew there were some up there but I assumed, wrongly, that I would be able to get cell coverage and use my handy-dandy geocaching app on my IPhone. No such luck. So no geocaches on the mountain for us today.
On a road trip with the two of us you have to be prepared for lots of stops along the way, if it's not me wanting to stop for geocaches and historical markers it's Chris' amazing ability to spot wildlife from a speeding car. Today was no different. We made several of those roadside stops to catch a few clicks of the sun bathing Marmots and more amazing views. All in all another great day in the mountains, finished off with some mountain pie at Beau Joe's in Idaho Springs and yes, a geocache! Yes, we are lucky enough. =)
