(we leave our campground with internet access on Saturday morning so I have scheduled several blog post to be posted while I won’t be on the computer.  I hope to be back – live :) – on Wednesday or Thursday)

Estes Park is an interesting little tourist town.  Yes it does have the trappings that come with it – more gift shops that you can imagine, lots of people in the summer (maybe the winter too?), but yet it is a interesting little town.  Here are some photos of things we saw.

I finally had time to look through all your photos – so nice! I can’t believe all the pictures of elk. We hardly saw any elk in Yellowstone.

You just make me want to go on vacation…well, we did get to the beach :) !

Love all the kitchy statues especially the water foundation-really who wants to drink boot water?
