June 28, 2003

Doug & Julie Barger left from their house and we left from our's and all met at the intersection of Uncompahgre & Buckhorn Roads for our latest ATV adventure. It was a 35 mile & 7 hour round trip including fishing, sightseeing and picnicing time.

The wild flowers were all over as we climbed up to Buckhorn Lakes. We could smell their fragrance as we rode!

We enjoyed a picnic by the upper lake among aspen trees. Then the boys did a little fishing.

We had fun maneuvering the bumps and ruts around the lakes!

Doug had a little "mishap" trying to climb the steep hill in the photo below. As a result, the ATV rolled back a ways into these aspen tree. (See the scrape on the tree to the left in the middle clump?)

Here was the view we enjoyed as we wound through the oakbrush-lined road on the way down.
It was another fun trip & beautiful day!
