Took some time today to hit the Rockies with the Mrs. Mapped out a 5 mile hike to a lake called Ouzel. Unfortunately, there was still waaay more snow than we bargained for. Decided we should've brought snow shoes, so we turned back at approx. 3.5 miles. Kinda bummed, but we still had a good time! Hope you enjoy the pics...

Long's Peak - 14,259 ft (4,346 m). Just one of Colorado's 54 14,000+ ft. peaks.

Just thought this one was cool.

I love these heavily wooded area's.

No shortage of water sources around here.

Ouzel falls. Massive waterfall, wanted to get a close-up of the Mrs. for size reference, but all the snow made it unsafe.

Obligatory Becker pic. That's me rockin' the BK2 with Moose made leather! Glad he makes them waterproof. I fell on my @$$ at least 3 times today!

Massive boulder.

I don't know if this is a fungus, or tumor, or what, but it's stuck to an Aspen.

Processed this pile with nothing but the BK2...:eek:

...just kiddin'! The Forestry Service goes through and takes care of some housekeeping every now and again. That was just one of their "piles".

Sorry to make this so long...:o
 
Thanks for making it that long! We always like some photos (or lots of 'em) here. Thank you for sharing!
 
Cool hike! I couldn't find the deer.:o For a second there I thought the forestry wood pile was a super-shelter for the may contest.:)
 
Looks like an awesome hike. Damn those sheaths Moose makes are awesome lookin'.
 
Looks like a great time brother. I envy you people that live in/near places like this. All flat, corn and beans around here. nice photos, thanks for sharing.
 
MikeyJ, anytime you want to make threads long like this one, knock yourself out . . . . With our temp's all this week in the 90's already, this is like a visual vacation for us. Great shots of your "back yard", I would get out there every chance I had. Thanks for taking us with you & sharing.
Be safe.
 
That's the great thing about CO. You never know what you're gonna get. We were out past Deckers yesterday and it was sunny, warm and not a sign of snow. Wait 5 minutes...
 
Hey wait a minute Mrs. Mikey's pack looks heavier :) awesome pics! I have never seen a slash pile stacked so nicely.
 
Hey another thing, I really like that pouch type sheath you got there. Do you mind if I ask where you got it?
 
Wow, great pics!! That is some beautiful country for sure. Looks like ya'll had a great time. Strange to see snow in pics, it was in the mid 90's here all weekend, sweat was the clothing of choice here.

Glad you're likin' that sheath, looks good on ya.:D
