Big Weekend

It was a big weekend for this old boy.......
Started it out with Marzycks burgers before heading over to Trampled By Turtles at the Ogden.
Saturday was the big Eric Church show at Red Rocks.
We closed out the weekend with a 9 mile round trip hike to Ypsilon Lake in RMNP.

Kristie and me at the show

Kristie wishing I wasn't walking so slow

This river was created when the Lawn Lake dam broke and flooded the entire valley into Estes Park, killing 3 campers (Deb Downer makes her first guest appearance)

Sporting the jacket Matt hooked me up with. We were hit by sunshine, rain and snow within an hour of each other. Pretty standard for spring time at elevation in CO

Kristie crossing the footbridge. If you look close enough you'll see that her back pack looks completely empty of supplies......did I mention that it rained and snowed?

Official "hiker near water pose"

Chipmunk Lake. A small little pond before the main event

Kristie coming down the last half mile of snow covered trail. You'd think the water bottle would be in her pack by now during the steep snow descent, but I guess she refused to put ANYTHING in that puppy!!!!

The views from Ypsilon Lake. A cool 10,650 ft above Thomaston

On the way out, I figured out how she was hiking so quickly...I was carrying the poncho, jacket, neck warmer and extra water that she planned to use and I had no clue......

We finally made it back to the car and headed into Estes for a burger. I was pooped.
