Traveling to Jefferson Colorado

We, my son Chris and I are traveling to Jefferson Co, to begin the elk hunt this year, This is the first year my son and I are going to be hunting big game together, We will be joined by Chris's father in law, brother in law, and other relatives from Minnosoooooooota.

It has been very windy the last couple days, hope it subsides while traveling, forecast is for more wind and 50% chance of snow Saturday and Sunday.

Preparing for elk hunt this weekend

Since returning from Wyoming I have been preparing for elk hunting in Colorado.
During the last trip the Dewalt drill we use for the stabilizer jacks on the trailer broke, I had purchased it on Oct. 10th., returned to Sears and received a replacement.

Favorite video and pictures of trip

On the way back to Denver we stopped at Gros Venture campground to stay the night.

The next morning I awoke at 6 am to let the dog out and was ready to leave, But, Dee wanted to sleep until daylight, Sooo, I waited until 7:30am.

Got hooked up and we were leaving the park and an the road leaving we came upon 7 Moose, wow can you believe it !

Returned from trip tonight

We will gather all of the pictures and video's, start posting tomorrow as it will be raining all day tomorrow

Weather today

During the last 3 days the weather has been cloudy and calm, making a purchase of a generator maybe necessary.This afternoon we have had sunny to cloudy periods and winds up to 71 mph shown on the storm chaser wind indicator..
I have found that the wind generator will flutter the blades at 60 mph winds
I guess that if the wind is not blowing in Wyoming at the moment.. just wait a while

Morning at Buffalo Bill State Park

Thursday Riverton Wyo

Traveled to Riverton from Ft Laramie very windy (used a tank of fuel to go 90 miles) drove to the (Indian casino .. not very good) What was good was watching the Colorado Rockies win their baseball game against the Phillies and won. Watching in the trailer with direct tv in the parking lot.. Good stuff... after the game we noticed rv's across the highway from where we were, we went across the road and asked the folks there about staying the night. The fellow that owned the place asked if we needed hook ups.(no) He told us to park in the meadow.. No charge nice guy. We had a large grass field for the dogs to run.

Camped on the North Platte River

Tuesday

Left Denver at about 12:30pm
Made it to Ft Laramie Wyoming to the Army bridge on the North Platte River





This bridge was constructed in 1875.
It is believed to be the oldest bridge west of the Mississippi river. Once the then broad and turbulent North Platte River was spanned, the Cheyenne to Deadwood route was considered the best road to the Black Hills Goldfields.

Rockies win

The Colorado Rockies win in 14 innings, they have won 14 of the last 15 games.. Very exciting.. next game Wed. 1pm mountain time.

We should be able to leave for Yellowstone tomorrow.
