Rafting Clear Creek

Since today was really nice and Pete decided to call Steve, the guy who introduced him to the raft company owner, to see if he wanted to hit the Creek. I thought it would be cool to take some video of him on his first trip past the house.  So here it is, Enjoy!



So since we're on the subject of rafting I thought I'd share a few funny things that Pete said is common for tourists to ask:

At what elevation do deer turn to elk? 
I know we're in the Rockies but this isn't an enchanted forest!  They are two different animals for anyone who doesn't know.

Where do you put the mogels in the summer?
Mogels are the ski bumps that you see people race in competitions.  Mogels are formed when the powder snow gets skied or 'bumped up' and until the trail is groomed they remain there.  They aren't installed in any way shape or form.  I think that would be really dangerous.

How do you get the trees to turn such a pretty shade of red?
Well for this we can thank the beetles that are eating our trees.  All the red patches that you see in the forest, and there are a lot, are dead trees and no one is happy about it.
