I bet some people were surprised to see that I didn't make any posts during the debate. I'm surprised too. But I had a good reason - I was out of town camping with my special lady, celebrating our 2 year anniversary.
We live in Colorado so we packed up our car with camping gear and went on a mountain tour. It was the best road trip I've ever done. We saw a whole lot in 3 days and had an amazing time. We shoulda taken more pictures, but there are still quite a few good ones that I'll share with ya'll:
Ahhh, the Rocky Mountains. Click the spoiler for the rest of the pics
Our campfire from the distance. We got a camp spot in Rocky Mountain National Park right by where the Elk were doing their thing. There's some sorta big elk migration this time of year, seemed like a mating meeting. At least it sounded like that all night long - get a room right?
Up close pic of our first night's dinner. Had some leftovers from lunch mixed in with hot dogs, heh.
View from our campsite in the morning.
We head out to the Stanley Hotel - this hotel was Steven King's inspiration for the shinning and this is where he wrote the book. They didn't film the movie here, but it is where they filmed the TV miniseries.

We leave Estes and drive through Rocky Mountain National park on our way to Steamboat Springs. We see our first Aspen's turning for fall.
We get to the top of a big ass mountain and it's a sweet view
This pic makes me want to work out more.
As we cruise the mountain we get rained on, hailed on, see snow, and look down on the clouds.
Awesome
We find a find a pear in our mixed dried fruit bag that looks like something else completely. haha
On the way to Steamboat we start seeing some gorgeous trees. Check out the video's below for better footage.
As we get closer to our second campsite (which will be at strawberry hot springs) it just keeps getting prettier.
We arrive at our 2nd campsite and have lunch.
A view of the hot springs. We spent a bunch of time in here. It was especially awesome at night cause the stars were amazing and it felt like something out of a movie.
The next day we head out to Aspen and say goodbye to the gorgeous Steamboat hillsides.
We drive through Aspen thinking "this can't be Aspen" cause it's not very pretty... and we end up doing independence pass. This is a view looking back at the pass from the bottom.

I'm also working on another political post which I'll throw out once this one works its way through the front page. Still got a lot of catching up to do from the days I was outta town!
And also planning to get serious on poker. I got lucky and SakiSaki took me on as a full time student. I am gonna blog about my progress under his master tutelage as well as the political stuff =) Though, till the election is over there will probably be more politics than anything else.
