Read our diary for the juicy details... the dark secrets and behind the scene's action. Bookmark this page. http://www.getjealous.com/globalnomads http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=448338&go=globalnomads Colorado is for me truly one of God"s own Countries. The photos cant capture the snow blown from the peaks to your senses, the enormity of the space, the vastness of mountains and the isolation you can achieve here. It has always been like this for me and most likely will always be my place. Did I mention we where living in a log cabin with a real fire pot-bellied stove on the shores of a la... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=448338&go=globalnomads Thu, 27 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=448335&go=globalnomads We are up before dawn! Today we are hunting Elk. The view outside our window never fail‘s to stun and amaze us, this morning she is sombre, grey misty and ghostlike, sound is muffled, the air still and cold. We drive out to a local meadow, we are told it"s a good place to see Elk, but there"s no joy other than to watch the clouds slowly chased away by the strengthening sun. As she ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=448335&go=globalnomads Wed, 26 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=448324&go=globalnomads The weather beckons to us today, the sun bursts over the skyline and blazes at the fast thinning clouds and mist hovering over the water formed from the cold night. I"m still out there with my fishing rod and still catching nothing but frostbite so we are off for a short afternoon stroll to Adams Falls - part of the East Inlet trail head.The sun is dazzlingly bright, but the wind blows the c... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=448324&go=globalnomads Tue, 25 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=448317&go=globalnomads Me and Les wake up grinning at each other and to ourselves, we are warm in a very comfortable double bed in a log cabin on the shore of a lake in the rocky mountains. After sleeping in the truck for so long the comfort of the bed is hard to shake but then the log fire needs feeding so I do my duty. Today is the 1st Day of fall (or as we say Autumn), its also the first day of snow! As I gaze out ov... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=448317&go=globalnomads Mon, 24 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=447205&go=globalnomads The morning light wakes me even through the tinted windows of the truck. Its 6:20am; I try to wake sleeping beauty who responds with a great cry of Nooooooooo like the mating call of the bull moose several days ago. I sort out the truck whilst the she bear rises and we make our bleary eyed way to the gas station for 6:30am. Its not open yet and we"re guessing that being Sunday morning the sta... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=447205&go=globalnomads Sun, 23 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=447203&go=globalnomads Its Saturday and Grand Lake town has a small festival on, suddenly this lazy little town seems to hum. Abruptly all the diagonal parking slots that line the single main street are full. The crowd is a cheery mixture of half tourists and half locals, there"s tented stalls selling the usual fare of everything from hats to large wood-backed photos of would you believe it : Ireland and Italy.... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=447203&go=globalnomads Sat, 22 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=447201&go=globalnomads We are up early thanks to the moose and on our way towards today"s goal; Grand Lake, we stop just before it at a "Betty"s Diner ", where Betty, the giant cowboy teddy bears at the piano and her staff make us feel right at home. Again we tuck into sausage egg, sourdough toast, hashbrowns and enough coffee refills to keep us trucking for the day.Grand lake has an indoor swimmin... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=447201&go=globalnomads Fri, 21 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=447199&go=globalnomads We awake to yet another gorgeous morning, the sun bright on the placid waters of the lake, we would stay here a few more days if we had the provisions and time but its a long way in and out of here, Les is feeling the extra altitude quite a lot and there"s tantalising names of places on the map that call to us. As we are packing away our gear a bow hunter emerges from the trees, he"s bee... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=447199&go=globalnomads Thu, 20 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=447195&go=globalnomads Today we"ve been to the library in Steamboat Springs to upload photo"s email folks etc. What makes today worth mentioning is our campsite for the night. It"s about 40 minutes along some pretty rough roads but our gutsy 4x4 earns its money. Names in America are simple and to the point; Beaver Creek, Wolf Creek Pass, Bear Mountain all tend to suggest a "No surprise there then &q... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=447195&go=globalnomads Wed, 19 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=447193&go=globalnomads I truly love this country! The air is dry, scented by the pines, the low morning sun bright and crisply flooding across the land and the deep blue cloudless sky. We have breakfast sat amongst the tall white beech trees, the sound and smell of bacon sizzling; the wood smoke caught drifting lazily through the trees by the sun. Nothing is finer than bacon and egg butties for a camp breakfast. Today... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=447193&go=globalnomads Tue, 18 Sep 2007 12:00:00 GMT
