Title: Colorado spot with pics Post by: ducducgooseme on August 28, 2008, 09:10:05 AM Hey, so I got a couple of PMs for pics on this place I am going to this weekend. Here are the pics from 2006
A nice hiker took a pic of the three of us: (http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm228/ducducgooseme/Anglemeyer%20Lake/IMG_0776.jpg) Everyone carries their own gear: (http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm228/ducducgooseme/Anglemeyer%20Lake/IMG_0775.jpg) The approach as I found the lake while descending from Mt Harvard: (http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm228/ducducgooseme/Anglemeyer%20Lake/IMG_0795.jpg) The view from the lake: (http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm228/ducducgooseme/Anglemeyer%20Lake/IMG_0785.jpg) Camp: (http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm228/ducducgooseme/Anglemeyer%20Lake/IMG_0788.jpg) Collegiate valley view (http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm228/ducducgooseme/Anglemeyer%20Lake/IMG_0792.jpg) So do you know how hard it is to climb a ridge and have two dogs sit and stay while you hit a timer and run back up?! (http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm228/ducducgooseme/Anglemeyer%20Lake/IMG_0791.jpg) Sadly, a few hours after that was taken, my black dog Jack died. She came into the tent drooling and collapsed. Given I was 6 miles from the car, there was nothing I could do. "Um Dr Vet, can you come to the following coordinates?" just didnt work. Guess it could be said that she died happy and in one of the most incredible spots I have seen!! She was chasing squirrels right up to the end! Normally I am pretty strict 'Leave NO Trace ' kinda outdoorsman...but I left her water bowl and pack so I could find the spot. Anyway, I buried her in an amazing place: (http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm228/ducducgooseme/Anglemeyer%20Lake/IMG_0821.jpg) I carved into the tree: "Get the squirrel" (http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/mm228/ducducgooseme/Anglemeyer%20Lake/IMG_0810.jpg) Title: Re: Colorado spot with pics Post by: bonfy on August 28, 2008, 10:34:19 AM :'(
