Mountain Trip - July 2000
Once again me, dad, David Hood and Neil Sanders were the only ones who
could do the mountain trip this year. Instead of camping out we
stayed at The Rio Colorado lodge in Red River, NM. I've been going there
since I was ten. Those rustic cabins sure bring back memories.
We decided to do a Summer trip this year. Normally we go in October
to see the Aspen turn bright yellow and to avoid tourists. But it was kinda
nice seeing a lot of families and small kids this trip. Plus we got to see
Michael Martin Murphy perform in Red River. Although we had to sit through
about twenty "cattle ranching/hardships on the trail" songs, without any beer,
to finally hear "Wildfire".

We did a lot of this after our rides. As we get older I notice we spend
less time riding and more time recovering. But what a way to recover!
