Colorado 2011 Cauthorn Style Day Five
Today is the day Patrick is to arrive. We are all excited. After breakfast of cereal, we got the boys ready for another day. Again, all wanted to stay in camp.
Dad, Sarah and I planned a hike to Blue Lake. Blue Lake is located in the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area about 35 miles south of Estes Park. The three mile hike to Blue Lake took us through a spruce forest, to Mitchell Lake then turned abruptly heading up into the mountains and above the tree-line. Several times the trail looked out over beautiful mountain valleys that were picturesque. The last of the hike took us to Blue Lake. The back drop was magnificent, two glaciers ending in Blue Lake. As Dad, Sarah and I enjoyed our lunch, Sarah noticed skiers on the glaciers. Two skiers and one snow-boarder traversed down to Blue Lake. They packed up there gear and hiked out...in their ski boots!
Crazy. It was something I imagine Anthony will be doing in, oh, two years or so.
We drove back to Estes Park to get the boys and Patrick. Pat looks great: skinny, a full head of hair (I can't help but being jealous) and strong. We played Guillotine, Plants vs. Zombies, and went to eat Thai food in Estes Park.
Anthony did the high ropes course at camp, riding a zip line with a huge smile on his face. Michael had an all day hike to Mills Lake, he wanted to go to Black Lake but the rest of the campers couldn't make it. Nathaniel had a cook out with hot dogs the played capture the flag with his camp friends.
