My favorite place...

This past weekend we decided to go camping again, just the two of us. So Friday night we headed back down to Gunnison to Blue Mesa Reservoir to go camping. I have officially decided that Gunnison and Crested Butte are my favorite places in Colorado! I am destined to live down there one day or at least have a house there!

We got there late Friday night and it was raining (rain=no camping) so we shacked at the local Holiday Inn and woke up fresh to find our camping spot. The spots weren't that big, but we had a beautiful view!





We were fly fishing later that afternoon so we had some time to kill after setting up our tent (and neither one of us felt that great, I had caught a cold from one of my kids), so we visiting Black Canyon Park. It was neat, kind of a mini-Grand Canyon.







We were able to go fly fishing with the same guide that took us ice fishing back in March! He took us to this very remote spot in a Nat'l Forest. One of the most beautiful and peaceful places I've ever seen.



We fished for brookies, and caught quite a few!



Fields of wildflowers...



Will and our guide...

I was most excited about wearing waders...



The fish we caught and kept...



The fish are still sitting in our freezer...we'll let you know how they end up tasting! We took a very scenic route home the next day with a stop in Crested Butte...more pictures to come!
