Hummingbird fun.

Summer is here; one of our guests had fun taking these pictures.

Attached are the pics you saw me taking on the Cinnamon Bear porch a couple weeks ago. The hummingbirds were really amazing. I was impressed that it took them less than a minute to start drinking from the hand held feeder only inches from my face and the camera. I could feel the breeze from their fluttering wings and I couldn't stop blinking as they hovered in front of my face.This was our third stay at your place and once again we had a fabulous visit. Thanks a lot, CG

A bit of bragging.

In addition to getting ready for our summer guests, we took a bit of time in June to go out to Wisconsin for Kendrick's graduation. He has completed his Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Arts (Computer science) degrees, graduating summa cum laude in both. We are now enjoying his company at the lodge until mid August when he head back to UW at Madison to pursue a doctorate in some part of the computer science field. Congrats and way to go Kendrick.

Summer update.

Again, it has been a while since our last post. Part of the reason is, as you see above, I've been working on floors. The Prospector cabin floor has been refinished and looks absolutely great, lots better than the old carpet we pulled out. We were also painting and doing lots of spruce-up projects to get ready for a great summer and that it is turning out to be. Great hiking weather with our cool nights and days into the high 70s. Lots of folks are escaping the heat down on the plains to come up and enjoy the mountains.

Summer's in full swing here and we are enjoying the humming birds, the mountain flowers and even a visit from an area bear the other night. Guests have been hiking up Mt. Elbert reporting snow is not an issue, and the views are fantastic. Here is a view of La Plata Peak from the top of Mt Elbert.

We are having a bit of trouble with our website and our hoster seems to be on vacation. Please give us a call if you need information. Thanks!
