... Colorado!
We are back from Colorado!! Gerson, Nilza, Docri, and Olga (from Angola, at OU studying English) and me -- the five of us drove NW to Chaffee County, camping in the Arkansas River basin and hiking the Collegiate Peaks. We had a FABULOUS time! Here are a few photos. Stay tuned; more info to come . . .

Gerson (on the sign), Docri, Olga, Brad, and Nilza -- in Colorado!!
The Collegiate Peaks!
Me at the treeline of Mt. Yale (~ 12,000 feet). (Yale is in front of me. I dont know what mountains are behind me. And yes, that is snow in July).
Me, Olga, and Gerson at "Olga's Summit". She didnt go all the way to Yale's summit, but did make 13,000 feet!
Gerson and I, top of Mt. Yale. 14196'. Amazing!
The three amigos, back at the trailhead (do not be deceived, we are exhausted.)
The summit's just up there. Trust us.
Early a.m. breaking camp, 03 July. We tented at the Arrowhead Campground, Buena Vista, Colorado.
My 2nd "fourteener", Gerson's first.
Whitewater rafting on the Arkansas River. Excellent adventures had by all!
Heck yea, on the Arkansas River!
