Roughing It
Another great Ouray trip! We took the boys and Midlife Crisis out for some off-roading this time around, and it was a blast, if not a bit harrowing. See, neither Lisa or I enjoy shelf roads with a 200 foot drop down a cliff just a half-Jeep away from us. It does get the adrenaline pumping, though. We did enjoy Yankee Boy Basin and the more leisurely Last Dollar Road outside Telluride, and hope to take much more challenging trails next time out.
We loved our room, and the kitchen was definitely on the small side:
Poor Lisa, though, had a few mishaps. On night one, she fell on the street and received a minor road rash:
And on our way out of town, in Ironton to be exact, she fell in a mud puddle:
She survived, though, which means we’ll be back in Ouray soon. It was our 3rd time there in the past 2 years, so obviously we love it there. We are really thinking it will be nice to retire there someday, if at all possible. I’d love to take Lisa back this December or January, just so she can get a feel for what Winters there will be like…
