Every year we make a trek up to some private land in Como, CO. The tradition is that we go on Memorial and Labor Day weekend, but this year the snow kept us from getting there over Memorial so we pushed the trip to this past weekend. I must admit it was much warmer (day and night), but that’s not to say it didn’t have a few new wrinkles (see the last photo).
We always have fun with family and friends. The view is unbelievable and the fishing is usually out of this world (I caught 9 trout this year). The weekend typically includes poker, s’mores, rides on a recreational vehicle of some kind (this year it was a motorcycle thanks to my buddy Justin), working on the pond (see photos), and just taking it easy by the fire. This year was no exception…we had two new couples/families and had a great time. We missed some of the “old guard” (i.e.: Bill & Cindy and Larry & Shelley) but we are truly blessed to be able to use this pristine land and just get away from it all for a few days. If you’d like to join us just drop me a line…the more the merrier!
Here are some of the more memorable photos from the weekend…
The Busy Campsite
The Amazing View!
Some of the Gang hanging out by the fire.
Paul chilling out with some camp coffee
(not sure what the one glove thing was about?)
Food Fight!
Don’t they look like they love each other?
Does it get any better than this?
Logan & Kyle getting some good sleep.
Beavers have nothing on us man!
(Of course this broke about 2 hours later…but we’ll fix that)
Just as we were getting packed up to leave this hail storm pounded
us for about 5-8 minutes. That was a new one for us…now we’ve seen it all!
Oh mannnn! You’ve made one former Coloradoan and current Texan VERY VERY VERY JEALOUS!!! This was my childhood and I miss that #1 about Colorado. You are blessed, so glad you had an enjoyable trip! The hail? That was a nice little wink from the angels of Texas. (we get that all the time in the spring)
You should join us on a future trip…you would absolutely love it!!
