Silver Dollar - July |
|
|
|
We camped at Silver Dollar
near Turquoise Lake in mid-July 2014. Dede, Andy, and Lizzi drove up
to camp with us. We were in site 37 which was OK. The best site to
reserve is 40.
|
|
|
|
A short hike takes you to Turquoise Lake at 10,000 feet.
|
|
|
|
Beautiful water in a
beautiful surrounding.
|
|
|
|
Lizzi could not control
herself. She had to jump in the cold water and mess around despite
not have a swimming suit or towel.
|
|
|
|
There is "dare me and I
will probably do it" Lizzi. |
|
|
|
Super cool picture of
Lizzi with snowy mountains in the background.
|
|
|
|
Like most cats, if there
is an elevated platform to be on, Lizzi is on it.
|
|
|
|
We took a hike on the path
around the lake to the dam.
|
|
|
|
Having some lunch at the
campsite.

perfect weather.

fish water, hugs her Aunt Mona.

Andy taking a break in the
camper.
|
|
|
|
Lizzi flashes peace, bro.
|
|
|
|
Randy used the outside
kitchen to cook up some bacon.
|
|
|
|
For dinner we needed the
grill so Randy set it up.
|
|
|
|
We ate some really tasty
Tony's rib-eye steaks.
|
|
|
|
It was an excellent dinner
suggested by Lizzi complete with steak, corn on the cob, and
twice-baked sweet potatoes. Missed a vegetable but we survived.
|
|
|
|
We explored Leadville and
then took a break for some coffee and ice cream.
|
|
|
|
Lizzi ordered some weird
birthday cake-flavored ice cream. |
|
|
|
While browsing through the
thrift store, Lizzi tried on a pair of pre-owned panties costing $1.
|
|
|
|
Andy almost attended
Colorado Mountain College. Dede figured he would spend more time
skiing than studying.
