Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them; for those experiences have left an indelible impression, and we are ever and anon reminded of them. -- Henry David Thoreau

Upper Uintas Meadow Dispersed
We camped in the upper Uintas this weekend for some high elevation camping. Since it is late in the camping season, we were able to find a spot in the coveted upper meadow area just below Bald Mountain Pass. There were a few other hardy folks camping in the cold. It definitely got below freezing overnight, but the days were pretty pleasant in the 60s. We liked the camping area, but you could still hear the road noise in the distance and the road in is pretty rough. The poor T@b got bounced around a bit (one of the shelves came off the wall).

Ridgway State Park
We made another trip to Colorado for the Labor Day weekend. We couldn't get into the Amphitheater Campground in Ouray, but we managed to find some availability at the Ridgway State Park (Dutch Charlie Area). This is a beautiful campground with large sites. We spent two nights in Site #174 (Elk Ridge Loop E) and one night in Site #92 (Elk Ridge Loop D). Both sites were pull-through which was great. Site #174 was adequate, but was an internal loop site. Site #92 was awesome and was on the outer loop overlooking the reservoir. This campground is really well laid out and designed. If possible, try to get a site on the outside of either Loop E (overlooking the mountains) or Loop D (overlooking the reservoir).
