Truckee, Telluride and the Tetons

Over the past three wedding anniversary’s, Brenda and I by accident or design have been blessed by three amaZING vacation destinations.

TRUCKEE CALIFORNIA ( 30th wedding anniversary)

TELLURIDE COLORADO (31st wedding anniversary)

TETON NATIONAL PARK IN WYOMING (32nd wedding anniversary)

Each destination was special and will hold fantastic memories and that is in part why I have this blog…..to help me remember these amaZING places and experiences.

I just wanted to post some photos of the past three years of anniversary adventures.

Truckee River going into Boca Lake.

This year we pushed north to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Parks – wow, no disappointment there. What a fantastic place.

I am guessing there were about 3000 waiting and watching Old Faithful with us.

http://app.strava.com/rides/12576525 – My phone battery went dead into Ouray…The entire ride was more like 16 miles.

The Ghost town of tomboy – 3000 feet above telluride.

Thanks to the folks from Boulder who gave me a lift into Ouray from the summit. Without them it would have been a LONG ride down the hill.

Every morning we walked the pups.

My brother Gary and his wife Susie joined us for a couple of days.

Lewis and Clark

Love the travels to some anaZING  places with my best friend and life partner.

Thanks to my parents for house/dog sitting. Pam and Roberto and Matt for the gifts of lodging.

Thanks brenda for 32 amaZING years of marriage.

One life one wife make it great.

Just wanted to post up a few pics of PFA’S Kid’s Church having fun at our Father’s day picnic. The pump track was a hit.

Jason and his son Jo Jo….Yeah Jo Jo did a dance video to the Beatles song Get Back for our series called Get It Back today during service. His mom says it is now his favorite song.

NEW SECTION OF THE ARIZONA TRAIL

This newest section of the Arizona Trail begins at the bottom of Snowbowl road and climbs up just past the Aspen Corner trail head.

The trail opened up in September of 2011 and according to Ben (left who helped design and build much of the trail) took ten years to complete.

Headed back up to the AZ trail next Saturday with some friends to ride it again before the monsoons hit.

Here are the pics from our group ride.

 

 

We typically ride this section of the  Az trail twice a year. Summer for the green and fall for the colors.

What an amazing place …What an amazing space of nature and beauty.
