Trip to the Mountain looking for Aspen Trees


We went up a mountain road to cut down two little Aspen trees to make walking sticks. It is a tradition that the regular campers do every year. We went into Creede to the Ranger Station and got a permit. It was for three days and it had been snowing for two. So we had to brave the snow and forge up the mountain. We could only get about half way up. Mike and our friend, Mike, walked into the woods and found perfect little trees. The snow was about a foot deep. This picture above is probably about 9,000 feet looking down.

We left our motor home at Grand Lake and spent a few days at Pat and Mike's home in Broken Arrow.  Astrid caught a ride with Michelle's in-laws, Mark and Cheryl, who also have an RV.  They were visiting Scott and Michelle and was passing our way on their way to Branson for a Rally.  Pat and Mike's granddaughter, Madison, is Astrid's age and they had a lot of fun.  They put miles on a little scooter. And had a sleep over.

We made a side trip to Mt.

It was a fun stop and recommend for you to stop by if you are in the area! We went up one side and down the other side of Main Street and ate at Barney's. Floyds Barber Shop was closed....
