house out fishing, hiking, relaxing today. We headed south on 285 and then took 17 south over La Manga (spelling might be off) Pass, past the Pletoro Reseviour turn, to the Red Lake turn-off. It was about an hour drive and about 3,500ft elevation change to get to around 11,000ft. The area was gorgeous. Most of the guys went fishing and caught "nothing they wanted to keep" - that's code for "We got some bites, but nothing we were able to actually pull out of the water." The fish, to their credit, were very small - minnow-size - and not in abundance. The fishermen had fun just standing near/in the mountain stream, enjoying the gorgeous day God had given us, and holding a fishing pole in their hand. Jeremy enjoyed the opportunity to wear the waders (you can see them in the picture) that we brought out here. Emmy, Jeff, and I went hiking for about 1-1/2 hours to an alpine meadow near Red Lake. It was
a 
beautiful hike. In the distance on the meadow, we saw sheep grazing and could see them being herded by the three sheepdogs put in charge of them. They were too far away to get a good picture. The other pictures are just from up on the meadow. The rest of the afternoon Emmy and I just laid a blanket down in the sun and read books and fell asleep.
