A Mountain of Snow and Ice Cream

Here we are, finally staying at the Wind River Lodge after 4 nights of camping in the Rocky Mountain National Park. Our 4 nights were wonderful by the camp fire, dodging elk, black bears and ground squerrels. We have been hiking, working on music, and getting back to the basics of life;but oh, the magic of a warm shower and soft bed...they are a welcome change of pace for sure.
This is our second year playing for Summerfest, and the staff and administration here at the YMCA of the rockies are tremendous hosts.

After a good 13 mile hike, what is better than a mountain of ice cream!
This year there has been an amazing amount of snow on the higher elevations here, and Stuart and I battled to get to the Loche (a natural lake on top of a huge mountain) and won, but that fight was not without a slip and slide or two in the snow. Being youth of the Texas heat, it's a wonder we made it as far as we did.

Tonight we play a quick set as guests at Reusch Auditorium here and then do our full out show tomorrow night in Hemple Auditorium. It is going to be hard to pull me away from these mountains, and the ice cream!

YMCA soft serve is the BEST!!!!!
