Well, here I go again allowing my total ignorance of your beautiful state to rear it's head...
I've been sitting here for the past couple weeks picturing myself up there in Colorado, panning by day and enjoying nice cool nights, camped out by a mountain stream and getting a good night's sleep and starting all over the following day. Now. I'm starting to read about mosquitoes. MOUNTAIN mosquitos, at that! Those have to be some bad dudes, I'm thinking. I'm no stranger to mosquitoes down here in south Texas, where, due to our mild "winters", we pretty much deal with them year 'round. And I know how they can totally ruin any outdoor excursion. SO disappointed to make this new discovery! Am I wrong about the "cool" nights, too? Please, pardon my ignorance! I'm just trying to make sure I know what I'm potentially getting into... Btw... if any of you folks ever head down here to the coast (I live about 6 miles from Port Aransas), I'd be happy to offer advice on lodging, restaurants, fishing spots, etc... I can even meet up with you and exchange geographic knowledge! And anyone wanting to email me or discuss things on the phone, just let me know how to give that information privately and I'd be happy to do it. I may have unknowingly already made that info available...? |

yea, mosquitoes arent too terrible. we are having a bit of moisture though and starting may that way means a few more than usual.....unless it actually gets cold enough for this coming front to drop the white stuff. Just always be prepared when it comes to the rockies.....or as the saying goes, "Adventure starts when things go wrong."
not my best advice though. -------------------- Rock: Climb it. Dig it. Build your house upon it.
