We stayed in Roosevelt National Forest for the next two nights (Tuesday and Wednesday) but changed from Dutch George Flats campground to Bellaire Lake.  This turned out to be the only place we used our canoe.  If Mickey took a pictures of canoeing we'll add that to this page.

It was incredibly clear that high up and we enjoyed the stars each night.  The first night we walked out to the lake and watched the stars reflected in the clear lake, a practice we highly recommend to all those of a romantic nature.  Unfortunately, not having the technology of Hollywood, we can't show you a picture of this, you'll have to use your imagination.

After six nights we were ready for a campground with a shower (some would say were were past ready but that point is disputable).  Thursday we spent in a very commercial campground in Steamboat Springs.

Friday, we drove up into Wyoming.  Part of the road was a narrow, but well maintained, dirt road.  Here  are Brent and Mickey leading us co10.jpg (80527 bytes)  and an Aspen forest along the way co11.jpg (140164 bytes)

After crossing into Wyoming we camped for three nights in the Medicine Bow National Forest.  

Our first campground was Lost Creek.  wy1.jpg (103834 bytes)  wy2.jpg (116649 bytes)   

Saturday  we moved on to South Brush Creek campground, crossing back over the continental divide and along some high ridges where we had fantastic views. wy3.jpg (71814 bytes)  wy10.jpg (124244 bytes)  Thomas Edison camped near this lake.

We stopped along one mountain lake wy5.jpg (105262 bytes) for some photos and a study of the rocks.
