After 9 years away from Georgia, Hunter finally came to visit us!

 Check it out!

 Feed me!

These elk let us come very close, as you can see.

 While we were watching the elk, we witnessed a huge rock slide on the other side of the mountain. It sounded like an earthquake. It was too cool!

Snoozin'

 A big chunk of ice in the mountains

Mary, Hunter, Juanita and me

 It was a little tugher to climb at this level than sea level

 The sign reads, "Don't Feed Animals." Somebody fed that big animal!

 Polliann and the boys surprised Juanita and Mary with birthday cupcakes and cookies.

 Heading back into Colorado

 Hunter and I went on a Class III-IV Rafting trip down the Arkansas River

 Just the two of us and a guide

 Where's Hunter?!

 Back again!

 We got to take a break and jump off some big rocks into the river. Here's Hunter.

 Here's me! After jumpring off, we had to swim across the river to get back to our raft!

 This is a river view of the Royal Gorge Bridge, which is the highest suspension bridge in the world.

 After the rafting trip

 On the way out of Canyon City, we travelled a one lane road on the ridge of a mountain, with views of both sides.
