Flat Tops

Last weekend we went up to the Flat Tops, which is one of our favorite spots to camp in Colorado. Unfortunately our super awesome camping spot was already occupied, so we had to go find a new super awesome campsite. Since our moms read this, I won't tell you all the details about what types of roads we inadvertently took our truck down (and up) — I'll just say that we were REALLY impressed with our truck, and that we didn't hurt it. But we won't be taking it back down those roads anytime soon. Or at least until we get it lifted, or buy a Jeep for that specific purpose.

The sketchy journey was worth it — we had the whole valley to ourselves with a lake a half mile away from our site, and we were right by the Blair Lake trail head. We cooked a magnificent feast of pork, onions, potatoes, poblanos and tomatillos. Tyler had to carry on the Beast Master name because I was full after the first serving. Here he is (on your right) finishing up his second helping.

The next morning we hiked the seven mile round-trip trek to Blair Lake, then packed up and headed home safely.

P.S. Mom and Dad — Do you think Marty and Suzette could use this for a Kenai Peninsula Construction advertisement? Let me know if they're interested...
