Silver Thread

We spent the weekend camping in the Silver Thread of Colorado. We were about half way between Creede and Lake City. Our campsite was called North Clear Creek. We loved our site, the lack of schedule and the time we were able to spend together. We loved to explored the river that ran near by and the creeks the were also around. Enjoy our pictures from our fun weekend.

***GROSSNESS ALERT***
If you don't do well with dead things, don't finish the rest of this post! We enjoyed our explorations along the river. We loved the sights we saw. We loved identifying the plants we knew. We enjoyed the sound of the rushing water. We loved the coolness of the cloud cover and the small drops of rain that fell as we explored. We stopped at one spot along the river and there was a really disgusting smell. Upon closer examination this is what we found. The smell was so bad I had Dustin take the picture so that I could stand closer to the river.
Here is our dead, decomposing beaver.

My dad's family owns some land near Lake City, so I've grown up going to the mountains there (to the point that I know nothing about the mountains just west of where I actually live). I love that area too, and those falls are some of my favorites. I'm not surprised you had a marvelous time.
