CENTRAL COLORADO, LEADVILLE

We watch the men's Olympic whitewater canoeing as we sip coffee.  I'm surprised there was no entry from the USA.

We motor up Evans Gulch toward Mosquito Pass (13,186 feet).  This is the pass that everybody came over to get to the mine fields.  The last 4 miles is 4WD only so we park the motor home and walk.  After about 2 miles we reach timber line.  We now know why it's called MOSQUITO Pass.  While we are taking a break we hear coyotes howling up ahead so Peggy reigns in the dogs and we turn around and head back.

Back at camp we decide to grill some of our elk steaks.  The neighbors are probably jealous of the aroma.  After supper we settle in to watch more of the Olympics.  We are enjoying some of the commercials almost as much as the games.

I'm just too cute.
