A Colorado Vacation for my grandson's

July 10th I took both grandsons, Gabe and Jake, ages 14 and 11 respectfully on trip to Colorado to visit friends and sight see. Once settled at some friends home and the temperature near 100 the boys headed for the creek and enjoyed wading and laying in the pools of cool water. It's great to have a creek so handy.

We did some hiking on along the same creek an really enjoyed the sounds of the rushing water.



We packed up a good lunch and some rain slickers and headed for Avalanche Creek and a good hike. Well up the creek we stopped for lunch and a doe mule deer crossed the creek coming right at us. She climbed out on the bank and look at the frozen boys wondering what they were. She watched for a few minutes , then snorted and stomped at them trying figure out what the were, she ran off up the trail. The cool creek, low (as all were) was refreshing. We almost made it to my truck when a gully washer of a rain storm caught us. It rained very hard on me, the boys beat me to the truck.



We took in the Glenwood Springs Caverns, both Gabe and Jake thought the caverns were greatest things they had seen, and then the fun began with the amusement attractions, we rode most everything they had. The view is great too.


We took off for the north west corner of the state and enjoyed looking at the over population of wild horses and the diminished number of antelope and other smaller critters.



We drove to Durango, Colorado towing my trailer over Red Mountain, and Coal Bank Pass, tight but beautiful. The Durango & Siverton railroad was a great ride it's always beautiful any time of year and the boys were taken with the rugged beauty of the country there.

The trip went well, and the boys enjoyed it all. They were very happy to get home to their dad, and cooler temps here near the coast.

Looks like I failed Photobucket, back to the drawing board.

I just tested my photobucket link using notepad and the difference, that I could see was that after the username (fishmagician/ in this case) it goes straight to the name of the jpg, with no action statement. perhaps try it again but do it like this:



Oh, hey it worked!

Okay, here is the code (without the [img] statements:
