CD1 - Howdy Y’all!!!
Posted by taylor allred in : Colorado Discovery , trackback
This is CD #1, the best AAVE trip visiting planet earth, sending out a big Yee-Haw!! to all the parents back home. All the kids hit the trail yesterday after a hardy meal of chicken and potatoes (with optional vegetarian option) before the saddle-up with the real cowboy, Ralph, who might be among the last genuine cowboys left on the west! He’s over six feet tall, has a deep voice, wears a white cowboy hat, wranglers, and burly gray mustache. He has a love for horses, the great outdoors and making sure all the kids are safe and enjoying themselves. Plus I hear he does an amazing BBQ dinner (with veggie options)! So all the kids are saddled up on their own horse like Buttercup, Butch, Rocky and more!
This adventure was preceded by some very hard work at a wild life refuge for wolves. Some were 98 percent pure wolves. The kids worked hard in the hot sun to build a den for the wolves to stay in and have a look out on top of. They also secured a barrier around the fence so the wolves wouldn’t dig under the fence and get loose. All the trip leaders were impressed with their hard work. All the kids will have tonz of picture of the wolves and their habitats. Plus pictures of the the four black bears that were in the refuge as well. Before we left our two knowledgeable guides brought out one of the 14 month old pups so we could get a up close look. Good job Campers - you did an excellent job!!
Our tie dye shirts are looking good and we’ll have some good times in the wilderness sporting the flashy colors of the funky dye when were walking in the woods with all our gear. We’re prepping today for our last adventure: a full bore wild backpack and potential summit of some massive Colorado peaks (we’ll let you know how the summit goes). Wish us good luck and know were all loving the AAVE life.
Fun in the sun,
Taylor A, Tara A, and Katie A
