Elevenmile Canyon with Kelsey and Dave

From the top of this high rocky wall of the canyon, we can see everything. There is a dammed up lake in the distance, and the South Platte River snakes from its base. Here and there stand patient  fishermen, waiting for the fish that were supposedly ample there.... I wouldn't know, I only saw two the entire day. I didn't even try to fish. Kayley and Zander and Sarah did, but I gave up fishing last summer during the Junior Guards fishing trip. I stood there for two hours and caught nothing. I guess I don't have the right kind of luck. Instead what I did was hop from boulder to boulder across the cold water. I think I am in love with rocks :) And heights, I really like heights. Like on that huge mountain/boulder we climbed up (pictured above). That was super fun. I like climbing things :) somehow, its always twenty times more fun when I climb rocks to the top of a mountain than if I hike. And then at the top all the wind is blowing at you like it wants to push you right off the top. It makes me feel like I'm flying. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to jump off a cliff... don't worry, I'm not getting suicidal here, just curious. I want to go bungy jumping or sky diving some day...
Maybe in New Zealand!?
