4th of July in Colorado

You might be a little confused because about two post back I wrote about how I was going to Red River NM for the 4th of July weekend. And we did. And we quickly left to Colorado. Confused? Well we arrived in Red River on Friday afternoon only to realize that there were some pretty severe forest fires nearby causing them to completely closed their National forest the night before. Which is understandable. But with the forest closed down, that meant there was nothing for us to do. So we quickly tried to make a decision on where we could go from there and instead. Platora, Colorado was the decision! None of the Haught family had been there but were willing to see how it was. We drove about 2 more hours and then an hour on the most terrible dirt road in the history of mankind, and finally arrived to the beautiful Platora! The weather was beautiful, the mountains were beautiful, the trees were beautiful, the lakes were beautiful. Okay you get it, everything was beautiful. And as hard as it is for me to admit it, it was kind of nice not having phone service the whole weekend. I needed the break! Basically the whole trip we relaxed, rode ATV's around the trails finding some gorgeous places, the boys fished..alot, and we ate alot. Sounds nice right? :) Wish I had more weekends like this!
