Mad Irishman

We're watching MU get beat by OU! Might as well blog.

Today was an easy day off-roading as there were only 4 Jeeps going out and we are tired and ready for something different to do.

We drove on paved roads to Montezuma (we think this must be a haven for old hippies) then the road to the right to get on Deer Creek which led to Mad Irishman and the tops of Teller Mountain and Glacier Mountain. Pretty easy drive with a few challenges thrown in but it is really neat to be driving on the tops of these mountains. We guess we're at about 12,000 feet elevation. We think we saw an eagle on the ground but it was hard to tell since he didn't have the white head yet. The views on top are so awesome. It's hard to capture the feeling of grandeur and our insignificance.

We were back at the RV by noon so after lunch we joined another couple and rode our bikes into Frisco and part way around Dillon Reservoir. John and I stayed in town to shop and have a coffee before heading back up the hill. It wasn't too bad a ride but I struggled with the hills and had to walk some. We rode about 17 miles.

I got our laundry done while fixing supper and now the disappointing football game. Nice evening!
