More of Estes Park

We spent Tuesday in Town updating blog and working on web. I went shopping while Bob worked. On Wednesday, we took another hike, around 7 miles with an elevation gain of around 1,000 ft. Here are just a few of the beautiful scenes. The waters are flowing really fast due to the melting snow & warmer weather. They were starting to sand bag in places in Estes Park.

One last trip out in the UTVs for this year. This time we had our own.  On Oct 5th, went up the  Mill Creek trail that is near Yellowstone. Good group, Wayne and Nancy, Kevin and Kathy, a couple of guys that were friends of Kevin and us.   Fun ride, but a little rough for some.    The group at the top   Stuck? Down in the Gully? 50 Inch rigs only. Lunch at the shack. Top of the Mountain. After this weather started coming in so we met up with Wayne and Nancy for the trip down to Arizona. Oct 15th we left with snow on the ground. Not much really going on in AZ.  Can't have get togethers or much  so we drove back up to our place in Butte for Thanksgiving.

Fiji- A Great Getaway

  On Saturday morning Dec 3rd, we arrived at the Fiji airport.  It was only 5:30 am, but they still had a Band to greet us.  We had to wait until 7:00 for the grocery stores to open, the the Malolo Cat office that would be transporting us to the island of Malolo Lei Lei to our resort, the Malolo Lei Lei Lagoon Resort was open Rosa welcomed us with a flower for my hair.       After a trip to the grocery and to see the town of Nadi, we boarded a bus to the Marina to disembark to our island vacation. The Malolo Cat II took us for the hour trip to the island.     First view of our home for the week.   It was everything Bob and I wanted, no phone, no inter-net, and no TV.  As a matter of fact, there wasn’t even a microwave.  (we could have had inter-net at $5 for 30 minutes, but we opted not to even get on)  The computer was strictly to save pictures.  and that we did!!!! The beauty has to be seen, not described...
