SUBJECT: Photos From My ATV Ride

Hi guys,

Here are the ATV pics I promised you from last weekend. I have a bunch because there were so many I liked.

These are from the beginning of my trip. It was really fun terrain all the way up the mountain.

When we made it to the top Jake broke out his GPS toy and the elevation was 12,626 feet. No wonder I couldn’t breathe!

Then we spotted the goats! WooHoo! This first picture was so funny. The goat was spying on me. Maybe he was people watching?

That's awesome, were you and jake worried at all about them getting hostile?

Hi Joe, I was a little concerned when one of the goats kept walking closer to us. They had babies with them so I’m sure they would’ve gotten aggressive if they had felt threatened. We walked away when they started walking towards us. I didn’t want to be that “stupid” photographer killed by a crazy mountain goat – haha!

WOW Allie those pics were so AWESOME. The scenery there is so beautiful including the mountain goats. Great camera work Jake. Thanks for sharing and Happy Hump Day to you.

Hi Hammer, Thank you! It was beautiful up there. It seems like all of Colorado is beautiful scenery. Maybe that’s why I like it so much here. :)

Hi again, Thanks for letting me know – lol.

Bahhhhhhhhhhh! Great pics Allie. Thanks for the quick reply regarding my email also. Unfortunately I can't see your response. I wonder if it is my email. Did you see the cancellation go through. You provide such great customer service to all of your members!

Thanks

Hi Timothy, That’s weird you didn’t get my email. Check your spam folder – maybe it was thrown in there. I did look up your account and you had cancelled. You will not be billed again. :) Glad you liked the pics.

Oh wow Allie! What a beautiful view (the mountains and you!). I went to CO when I was like 16 on a family trip and I hated it because my dad forced us to hike for miles LOL. But I would love to go again and appreciate nature a bit more...being stuck here in a big rude city like Miami is hell sometimes!

XOXO Diamond J.

Hi Diamond, Thank you! That’s so funny! I think when you’re younger you don’t appreciate things like you should. You will have to come and visit us! You’ll have to share a bed with me if you want to stay here. haha!

Gidday Allie,

That's beautiful looking country high up in the mountains of Colorado. Is that up in the Sangre de Cristo Ranges?
I love this sort of country. One of my favourite pastimes
is going up into the mountains here, bushwalking, climbing mountains and photographing the scenery. The air is so clean and fresh up high. Great photos Jake and Allie you look pretty good too. The goats look almost as if they've been bleached snowy white and they look in good condition and best of all they are free.

Hi Wazza, Thank you. No, the area we were in was more North than the ranges you’re talking about. The air is clean up there but there’s less of it – haha. The goats were a bleachy white. They really looked like stuffed animals. It was a lot of fun and I hope that wasn’t the last time I get to see the goats.

Those are great pics Allie. My favorite goat pic is the first one where its peeking at you. I can handle you going crazy with all the pics since you've been waiting so long to see those critters. 12K feet - I'm impressed and not surprised that it was hard to breathe. I have to say that i'm jealous though; I'm a bit of an astronomy buff and with your location in the mountains like that, especially within riding distance of 12K feet, you must have some incredible views of the night sky. If you guys don't already have a telescope you should consider getting one, or at least a really good pair of binoculars. Happy weekend and see ya next Tuesday sweety. xoxoxo

Hi Tom, HAHA, that’s my favorite pic too! I laugh every time I see it. I’m glad the numerous goat photos didn’t bother you – lol. I’m sure looking through a telescope at that elevation would be incredible. Jake and I have been talking about getting one but just haven’t had time to research them. If you have any helpful suggestions please email me. We’re clueless in that department. Have a great weekend too!

PP:
Those are some great pictures. Those goats were like "Who the hell is this on our property?" So, if this web stuff / accounting stuff doesn't work out, it looks like you have a pretty good carreer in photoraphy ahead of you. However, let's hope that you stick to the web stuff!
So, I'll be in Denver this weekend trying to find a place to live. I hate house hunting. Oh well, at least I'll try to find some club to hang out in and shake my ass a little. Maybe I could be like a goat, and you could try to come find me...I promise, I do exist! Take Care!
Kisses

Hi Dave, Thank you! I think that’s exactly what the goats were saying. I thought they were pretty tame to be out in the wild like that. I’m glad they didn’t run away when they saw people. Don’t worry I enjoy my website so I’m not going anywhere. I’ll just show my goat pictures to you guys – haha! I hate house hunting too! Good luck with that. HAHA, now that I’ve found the goat I won’t be looking for it anymore. Act like a bear because I’ve always wanted to see one of those. lol.

Those photos Jake took were beautiful and the view of the mountains wasn't bad either.:) You guys really lucked out to run into a herd of goats like that. I have seen them on TV before, but nothing beats the thrill of seeing them up close and in person. Thanks for sharing the pics with us, they turned out really great.

Hi Rich, Thank you! I think we were lucky too. I just wanted to see one but when we saw the whole herd I was so excited. It’s amazing how little things like seeing a goat in the wild is so exciting. Sometimes the “real world” keeps us from enjoying the little things in life. Glad you liked the photos!

Hi Alan, Oh wow, have fun in Amsterdam. That is one of my favorite places on Earth! We had so much last year we’re going back this year. I hope you get into lots of naughty trouble while you’re there.
