Dave, Lori, Matty and James visited us and James had 'quality time' with Matty. Mom and Dad will get plenty of help from James and Grandpa to broaden Matty's education on things 'country'.
Dave, Lori, James and Dad went on a float trip on the Rio Grande. Here Dave and Lori show no ill effects at the end of the day.

Starting with one of the last things we saw is this rock formation that reminded me of a woman holding her hands on her stomach. Becky saw an old man - go figure!
Right below Continental Reservoir appears to be pretty good flyfishing. This is two of 6 or so guys trying their luck in the several large holes. The stream is not very large but flows steadily and the terrain creates some nice fishing holes.
Here is a smallish waterfall (one of the largest is nearby - photos of it later) but it is a 'little beauty'. The water normally flows into the stream below Brown Lake but can be diverted into the lake if needed to help fill the lake.
The mountain in the distance contains the headwaters of the Rio Grande. It is the Rio Grande Pyramid standing at 13,821 feet. Quite a sight but a long walk from here! The lakes in the foreground are Brown Lakes.
This and the following shots are of the area in and around Love Lake. Note all the beaver activity. We are at about 9000 feet and drove on up to 10,500 (two miles up the road) so we could have a snowball fight.
We had gone up the road only a short time earlier but found a small obstacle in the road as we headed back. One of the larger aspens had chosen this time to fall and block the road. Could have been more exciting if we had been driving by at the time! Fortunately aspen is pretty light wood and I had it cleared in no time. May put my limb saw in the truck for the next trip though!
