Camping
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.
Bellaire is a small mountain lake, at about 8000 feet above sea level.
There were quite a few kids playing around here.
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
and an Aspen forest along the way
After crossing into Wyoming we camped for three nights in the Medicine Bow National Forest.
Our first campground was Lost Creek.
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.
Thomas Edison camped near this lake.
We stopped along one mountain lake
for some photos and a study of the rocks.
