Hey everybody. I am back from the dizzy blond place I seem to like to go to once in a while, whether I want to or not it seems. It is not a fun place and yes I will go to see my doctor once I get back (when I get time).
Anyway, back to the good stuff. We drove through the Garden of the Gods on Sunday morning before we left for Steamboat Springs (a day late). It was really pretty and I am glad we took the time to go.
The rock formations were spectacular. I have many, many more pictures (of course) and some of them have Pike's Peak in the background.
Onward to Steamboat Springs. There was already snow in the higher elevations when we went over the pass. It was really pretty.
This is the mule deer we shot while driving around the Steamboat Springs area. Not to worry, it is still running, but he was pretty.
We drove up into the mountains on the forest roads and there was quite a bit of snow up in the higher elevations and we finally turned around so we would not get stuck up there. I am in a Starbucks right now and it is SNOWING outside. There is supposed to be 3-5 inches on the ground tomorrow. It should look really pretty. The sun is supposed to come out tomorrow afternoon and then me and my camera will go pretty crazy. Will try to send more pics when I can. That is all for now. I am afraid we are not doing as much hiking as I had hoped, I still get a little lightheaded and so am afraid to do too much. This is very annoying.
It did snow, but not as much as what I thought it would, but then we have not gone up into the passes yet either. We will drive up Rabbit Ears pass this afternoon and see what it looks like. 
The mountain above did not have any snow on it the first day we drove up to Steamboat Lake so the higher places did get quite a bit of snow. The pic below shows the snow on the top of Buffalo pass and that was before the snow came down in Steamboat Springs and it made me pretty nervous driving through that so I can't even imagine what it must look like now.
The barn below looks like it is in the middle of nowhere, but it is just across the street from where we are staying. They are trying to preserve it. I took lots of pictures of the barns in the area, they are so neat looking, even the ones that are falling apart. 
Well this will be the last blog. We are checking out tomorrow so we are not so rushed to get back home. All in all it was a pretty good trip, but we did miss our camper, but then again I don't think I would want to be in the forest in the snow with it either. Till next time.
