The Wild Bush Whackers Give Back


We had been hiking all over Colorado this past year and decided it was time to give a little back. We signed up to do a weekend of clearing trails near Steamboat Springs at Stage Coach State Park. This seemed like a win win situation because:

1. We would get some physical activity in the outdoors.
2. We would make new friends with like-minded people.
3. We would get a chance to camp for free!

Our Journey to the Fire Tower!



After Yosemite we headed to San Francisco for a day. We wanted to see the Golden Gate Bridge and decided the best way would by bike... a bit of advice, yes, this is a great way to see the bridge but at 11:00 a.m. you have to dodge sightseers and other bikers (who look like they have not ridden bikes since they were 12.) Seriously, we had near-crash experiences every other minute, I don't know how we even got around some of the crowds of people.
