Canon City, CO

We left Denver and drove south to Colorado Springs, CO where we couch surfed with this couple who gave us so much fun stuff to do in Colorado.

First, we went white water rafting. Though I do not have a water proof camera, so there are no photos. But we had so much fun. Then that night we drove to Shelf Road which is an hour up a mountain in Canon City. It is literally like someone carved a shelf off the side of a mountain, one lane gravel road. We camped out on the mountain.

Shelf Road. 

Scariest Road I've ever driven.

We saw a TARANTULA!

Joe on the back of the truck... getting photos of cows.

more cow photos.

These two cows are responsible for scaring me to death and making me and Joe sleep in the truck after a full day of rafting. We were hanging out in the mountains, drinking beer and sitting by a fire when we hear this loud shuffling in the woods nearby. I, of course, freak out - thinking its a mountain lion.. while Joe wants to discover what it could be. We shine a light and low and behold it is two huge mooing cows.

gorgeous Colorado.

we should of camped here.

National Geographic should hire him... he blends right in.
