Perfect weather, puffy white clouds, no wind or rain,<br />water falls, creeks, colorful flowers, jagged peaks, red mountais, green basins, a deep blue lake, and with great freinds.

Happy to hear that John Q made it safely to lovely Ouray- He called before leaving to see if I was to make the trip- Sorry to say but no- But I seem to be constantly changing the yearly travel which I think is a fun thing- no more 10 months in Florida- Have had the 34 footer for sale- many buyers with cash but cash never shows up but I really do not mind one way or another-if sells fine if not fine!take careWalden creek RVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-21027077898208566042012-07-17T19:54:54.172-06:002012-07-17T19:54:54.172-06:00Went for a hike to Columbine Lake with Bobbie and ...Went for a hike to Columbine Lake with Bobbie and John Q... a reader/friend from Indiana. We followed our hike up with some San Juan IPA's and pulled pork sandwiches from Ouray Brewery. Yum... and the sandwich was good too. Warning: I will be Commenting Under the Influence, so here goes...<br /><br />Teresa,<br />Your wanderlust presented early on... a child prodigy of<br />pilgrimages! :)) Good for you.<br />thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the images. It's hard to take a bad photo above timberline in Colorado...<br /><br />Travel Bug Susan,<br />You make an excellent point... just be who you are. Regarding the camera, believe it or not, most of my images are shot with my Canon Digital Elph 12 mega pixel. It is a big camera in a small package! Thanks for commenting... and reinforcing my risk taking with a pen. :))<br /><br />Pam,<br />I feel your pain... your "itch," you are in RV Heat! (that's the alcohol talking, not me).<br />Seriously, when trapped in "the maze," humans tend to act out. Upgrade woman, before you hurt someone :)) And I will keep dreaming...<br />Thanks, It's good to know I'm not alone.<br /><br />Al,<br />I hear that!!!<br />Can't wait to see what you do with your Arizona Bungalow... I'm so jealous :)<br /><br />Thanks all... I think some more RV friends are rolling into town this week, so if you are in the area and want to make some new friends, take a hike... or just go to the Ouray Brewery, mosey on over to Lovely Ouray! I smell a party...Box Canyon Blog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032055509766739436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-43188888338840165532012-07-17T18:41:25.821-06:002012-07-17T18:41:25.821-06:00Yep, I'm always running away from something al...Yep, I'm always running away from something alright & it's called boredom & routine.Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-25247448070163302762012-07-17T13:34:41.172-06:002012-07-17T13:34:41.172-06:00Totally related, as usual, especially the part abo...Totally related, as usual, especially the part about the creeping crankiness. Been feeling that a lot during this crazy heat wave; I feel like a caged animal. I have new respect for zoo and circus animals these days. The wanderlust is so extreme these days that just the other day I was trolling ebay for a "small" camper just for me because it kills me to wait for my husband to have time off from work! I'm usually off every Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, and while I can't go very far I still feel the need to GO! Had my tent cot 2 months and I'm already looking to trade-up! ;) Keep dreaming, Mark, you're not the only one traveling whether your eyes are open or closed, whether you're moving or standing still!Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/05979446142128610261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-4026041515294679862012-07-17T12:35:28.243-06:002012-07-17T12:35:28.243-06:00Regarding your comment about putting themselves &q...Regarding your comment about putting themselves "out there"...<br />I have found when I put myself out there many people understand me better and many have felt the same way, we develop a common bond. The negativity and criticism, while they may have some merit, tell me what kind of person I'm dealing with. If I get to know them better will they continually be negative, downer people? Something to ponder and test.<br /><br />Your photos are stunning.

I know of some boondocks right near Ouray If you would like to save a little gas... <br />That 105 degree mineral water is going to feel good, and the stars are still there :))<br /><br />Teri,<br />That's one good thing about getting older, wisdom. We come into our own and shake off the "chains" (guilt and fears) that bound us for so many years... we treat ourselves better, too, because we finally realize we are worthy of it. <br />As for offending some RV'ers... it is not my intention. I'm just throwing out some food for thought... provoking... questioning... for myself, as much as for anybody else. I learned a long time ago that when one puts themselves "out there" they risk disagreement and criticism. As I get older, I take it less personally :)) <br /><br />Gaelyn,<br />You are soooo right. I guess you noticed the RV theme lately... I can't wait till September when I give "notice" at work. I Wonder where we'll Wander??? <br />Thanks for commenting, all of you.<br />markBox Canyon Blog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032055509766739436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-40396384283958142492012-07-16T22:26:09.498-06:002012-07-16T22:26:09.498-06:00You need to hit the road.You need to hit the road.Gaelynhttp://geogypsytraveler.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-1553007963494713442012-07-16T21:43:58.562-06:002012-07-16T21:43:58.562-06:00A lot to think about in this post.

I did go to Spain on a school trip when I was 16, this may have started it or maybe the Girl Scout camping trips. I always saved my money so that I could travel, and I didn't quit my jobs, just kept working until I was 50. Now I work part time to support my habit and retain some of my savings. There are a lot of RV bloggers that get offended when someone says we are running away from something - this I agree with partly - I am running away from the takers - I was always a giver. But I am also running to something - freedom and a new found life. Now I am learning to speak up and ask for what I want and not to constantly be offering or giving help. I still help others, but in limited amounts. My new motto is to try and live without fear and without guilt.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019364333876469130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-7111615037671615882012-07-16T17:18:18.705-06:002012-07-16T17:18:18.705-06:00Wow, Mark, very generous of you.

I can feel the warmth right now. :)<br /><br />I'm looking for a tent that I can use w/o having to bend over much, then I'll be all set. May come over your way and camp up by Courthouse or on that road that comes out at Sam's Place (Divide Road). Could use some cool air, though it's actually been pretty nice over here, but will get hot soon.

The slow healing back does not help, I know... Been there, and still gimpy after 3 long years. Sometimes it feels like the things I need the most to survive this crazy world ar being taken away from me, one by one. Tie a knot in that "rope" and hang on... things will improve and Ms Destiny will reveal herself. You are welcome to kill some healing time with us in Lovely Ouray... I will get you free passes to the Hot Springs Pool... that would feel good... and there are some other RV'ers showing up soon. <br />Take care, <br />MarkBox Canyon Blog.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032055509766739436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-68766908890584696652012-07-16T16:34:28.777-06:002012-07-16T16:34:28.777-06:00Well, that number 11 would be me, except I was 47 ...Well, that number 11 would be me, except I was 47 and my top of the line RV was a well-used Toyota pickup with a topper on the back and a mattress and four dogs and an old Coleman one-burner stove, which I still have.<br /><br />I think you hit the nail on the head and I still wonder why I do this, live this way.
