St. Elmo

Over the weekend we went on a nice camping trip with Deron and Tina. We met at the Mt. Princeton Hot Springs and then took off looking for a camp site. We found a great camping spot above the ghost town of St. Elmo. The weather didn't cooperate much of the evening and it was very cold but we still had a nice time.

We ended up on a gnarly 4-wheel drive road while looking for a camp spot. This is the road that leads to the top of Mt. Antero. We had to turn around when the truck in front of us got stuck. We were a little nervous taking the family truckster up here.

Eventually found a great camping spot that was at 11,0024 ft! It got pretty chilly at night.

Cooking dinner over the campfire. Minutes later it started to rain. It rained off and on for the rest of the night. We got pretty wet but managed to keep the fire going!

Feeding the chipmunks in St. Elmo. I can remember coming here 20 years ago and feeding the chipmunks with my parents.

The chipmunks are so tame and some are very FAT!
