A Camping We Will Go...

The weather here has been so crummy, and I have had enough! I wasn't going to let clouds and rain get in the way of a wide open weekend to get out and do some camping with my husband. I think the greatest thing about our camping trip was that we only had to drive 40 minutes to get to a completely remote place in the center of rugged, snow capped peaks up Independence Pass (Aspen).




Trying to stay dry and read my magazine article about Johnny Depp.



Look at all that snow. This was on the side of the road up Independence Pass.


Yes it is pouring rain, but I am still climbing and exploring our camp site.

Even though it poured while we were trying to find fire wood, and while we grilled our dinner and then ate dinner in the xterra, oh and Marty got sick and we had to move from the tent to the truck in the middle of the night because Marty had the chills and it was too cold to sleep in the tent...we had a great time. We absolutely love camping and just having that time to enjoy nature, the fresh air, and each others company away from all of life's luxuries. All the above issues (rain, cold, sick) are just a normal trip with the Madsen's, life is never boring.
