Conejos River or Bust

We're setting out this morning for four days of camping with friends on the Conejos River in the Rio Grande National Forest in Southern Colorado near Platoro. Since the area we're headed is about 8,700 feet above sea level, it should be alot cooler up there -- always a great escape during the high heat of summer in the desert. One of our aims is to avoid talking politics as much as possible. We'll see how we succeed!

I've set up some automatic posts for the time we're gone so feel free to use them as open threads. Back early next week.
