In 1980 we, my husband I and five little children, took our first vacation to the Rocky Mountains. The brave children would go for a ride with my husband in the early morning looking for animals and warming up. The younger ones would sleep in, and i never wanted to get out from under the covers until the sun was shinning on the tent. One morning there was actually ice in the water bucket. July can present some pretty cold nights at high altitudes. Yet our spirits were never dampened. Matter of fact we found our way to the Rockies at least every other summer.
In those days we had a tent and a cook stove but that completed our camping supplies. Latter we got sleeping bags for our Christmas presents.
All through the growing years we camped. After the kids married and had kids of their own we got a popup and motor home to give the babies a warm place to sleep.
Then in 2010 when I got an inheritance it seemed the natural thing to invest in mountain property to leave as an inheritance for my five children and nineteen grandchildren. What a dream this has been and how we all love working in this lovely atmosphere. It hardly seems like work when you get to see the scenery and animals. And it is made all the better because we have such nice guests to come and enjoy it with.
My son, Gary, his wife Cindy and three children run the place but we could not do it without the help of our other children and grandchildren who come every year to help. you will notice the benches, lamp stand and rustic furniture they have made. they thin the trees and put in walkways and even put up and installed our solar panels and the entire system.
We indeed, are very blessed and look forward to sharing these blessing with you.
