pics

ok, gang. here's the long promised pics of our vacation... at least some of them. Joseph has added more to our joint website which you can see by clicking the link here.

perhaps it would be best to just describe each photo posted...

1. This was our first morning in Santa Fe's NSF campground, which was quite nice. The air smelled of fresh pine, and it was intoxicating. We left by 8:30 and headed out of town towards Lake City, CO (of course we stopped by Starbucks first for my morning coffee... a girl's gotta have her coffee.)

2. Here's my man... hiking the trail together. This trail followed a large creek through the valley with a few crossover points. Fun! The water was about 45F if not colder, and very refreshing on hot, tired feet.

3. Here we are overlooking Lake San Cristobal. We camped in this valley the first night in Lake City, and it was beautiful. We had hiked out earlier that day, 5.2 miles in the rain, but we made it in just under 3 hours. This is one of my favorite pictures of the trip. I think it captured how happy we are together on our adventures.

4. This is the view from the valley outside of Creede, CO, and it was breath-taking. The privilege to see it together was awesome. God's handiwork is truly amazing.
