Good Morning From Buena Vista, Colorado

Mt. Princeton, CO

Good morning from Buena Vista, Colorado! This was my text below my photo when I tweeted it on my Twitter profile this morning. The photo was taken along Chaffee County Road 319.

Mt. Princeton - Buena Vista, Colorado

Mt. Princeton, CO

I was parked on East Main Street in Buena Vista when I snapped today's Mt. Princeton photo. I think the vehicles and building give the photo some character, don't you think?

Yesterday I climbed Twining Peak, a Colorado "13er" north of Independence Pass. People seem impressed with my photos and report so far. :)

-Steve (June 30, 2009)

Pretty Summer Day At The Overlook

Today's photo was taken at the Collegiate Peaks Overlook, east of Johnson Village.

A Photo of Mt. Princeton While Driving

I was driving along Chaffee County Road 306 (west of Buena Vista) when I snapped the photo above. It's not the greatest photo, but at least it's something new. It reminds me of the photo I snapped in April from the passenger seat of the 1953 Cadillac. :)

I have a crazy ColoradoGuy.com news article coming out soon and I intend to climb a "13er" near Independence Pass on Monday. Stay tuned! :)

-Steve (June 27, 2009)

Plenty of Color Above Mt. Princeton

Mt. Princeton

I had a good feeling about tonight's sunset based on the ordering of the clouds this evening. Mt. Princeton, as you can see, had some pink and lavendar shades above it. Ahhhhh ... but the highlight was my tweeted photo over Mt. Columbia made it in the 10 p.m. weather report for KRDO's news program in Colorado Springs. How about that?! :)

-Steve (June 24, 2009)

First 14er Climbed For The Year

Mt. Princeton

I climbed my first 14er of 2009. South Elbert can be accessed via the Black Cloud Trail in the Lake Creek / Twin Lakes / Highway 82 canyon that leads to Independence Pass. As of now, I have not written captions or explanations about the climb, but you can see my photos here: South Elbert.

Mt. Princeton In All Her Beauty

Mt. Princeton

On my way this morning to my job at a local rafting company, I pulled over on the western end of Chaffee County Road 337 for today's Mt. Princeton photo. I really like the vivid contrast of colors between the blue sky and green land.

If all goes well, I plan to climb South Elbert on Monday, a 14er located near Mt. Elbert. I intend to start on the Black Cloud Trail off of Highway 82 near Twin Lakes.

Yet Another Cloudy Day In Colorado

Mt. Princeton, CO

I should probably do a word count of the word "cloudy" on this page. I think the number would be high! Today's photo was taken while parked on the shoulder of Highway 285 near Nathrop.

If you follow me on Twitter, than you know much of my Internet communication has been focused on the Iranian demonstrations (revolution?) currently happening. It is my opinion that following and encouraging Iranians who are tweeting in real-time while on the streets of Tehran is the most remarkable event so far in 2009.

Mt. Olivet Cemetery - Buena Vista, Colorado

Mt. Olivet Cemetery

Mt. Olivet Cemetery is located on Rodeo Road a short distance south of West Main Street.

Little League Baseball Game

Little League Baseball Game

I was bicycling around Buena Vista, CO and eventually arrived at a little league baseball game. The boy at the plate is the one and only Michael Naegele, a son of my friend Kent. Poor Michael ... the very pitch he was about to encounter hit him squarely in the back!

-Steve (June 10, 2009)

Looks Like A Storm In Coming!

Mt. Princeton, CO

This morning's photo. It looks like it is going to storm again! Oh how wonderful it would be if it snowed! :)

-Steve (June 9, 2009)

Mt. Princeton - June 8, 2009

Mt. Princeton, CO

I was returning from Salida this morning and pulled over on Highway 285 for today's Mt. Princeton photo. I thought the interplay of blue sky and gray clouds was noteworthy.

-Steve (June 8, 2009)

Look At That Blue Sky!

Mt. Princeton

Yesterday morning I captured this photo with my cell phone near the Chaffee County Rodeo Grounds. Look at that blue sky! I received many positive responses from my twitter followers. :)

The Balloona Vista Hot Air Balloon gathering is this weekend. Hot air balloons apparently launched this morning and will do it again tomorrow morning. I photographed them last year and doubt I'll wake up early this year, but who knows, maybe I will anyway.

-Steve (June 6, 2009)

Beautiful Sky Above Mt. Princeton

Mt. Princeton

I snapped this beautiful photo of Mt. Princeton with my cell phone today. People liked it so much that I received a lot of comments about it on Twitter.

This evening I visited Cottonwood Pass. The sunset was a dud, but I managed to come up with enough photos to create a page. :)

-Steve (June 4, 2009)

Mt. Princeton Blanketed In Rainy Dark Clouds

It has been a thoroughly rainy day, but I did get a hike in on the Alpine Tunnel Trail. My buddy Derrick and I drove to Hancock and began our walk on the old railroad grade. So much snow remained on the trail and we eventually turned back when it began to sleet in 45 degree weather.

-Steve (June 2, 2009)

Mt. Princeton - May 31, 2009

Mt. Princeton

I thought today's Mt. Princeton photo was a nice one. I was on one of those east-west county roads between Centerville and Nathrop when I snapped this picture.

The book writing about my 2008 bike trip continues... or perhaps I should call it book editing. The entire first draft is written and currently I have a team of three very qualified peer editors working through my book. It is a long process, and I have no idea when I'll have a finished product. If I have something completed by the end of 2009 (which I don't realistically expect), I will be extremely happy. I am trying to learn patience.

The Footbridge Over The Arkansas River - Nathrop, CO

Nathrop, CO

This afternoon I visited the footbridge that crosses the Arkansas River in Nathrop. When I rafted into Browns Canyon last week, our boat floated underneath the bridge - it was a landmark I had never seen nor did I know about! Today I returned to photograph it.

In other news, I hiked in a snowstorm yesterday afternoon on the snow-covered Waterdog Lake Trail near Monarch Mountain. So much snow still remains up there! Do check out the photos and video.

-Steve (May 27, 2009)

Memorial Day 2009

Mt. Princeton, CO

Today is Memorial Day. For those of you who have lost loved ones in service to our country, I offer my deepest sympathy. I'm so very grateful for those who work so hard and make the sacrifices to keep this country strong and free. Without a doubt, freedom is not free!

Clouds continue to hover over the mountains. This morning, as I made my morning drive to the rafting company I'm working for this summer, I pulled over to capture the photo above. Not too bad.

By the way, I went rafting in Browns Canyon on the Arkansas River on Friday. See our best rafting photo here. :)

-Steve (May 24, 2009)

Three Consecutive Overcast Days

Mt. Princeton

This was the third consecutive overcast day. The sky has been dominated by drizzling rain and thick gray clouds... not good for photographing Mt. Princeton.

This evening, as I drove west of Chaffee County Road 306, I captured the photo above. At least part of the mountain can be seen in it. Oh and be sure to check out my photos at Cottonwood Pass here: Cloudy Cottonwood Pass.

Last but not least, have you seen my photo gallery from my visit to Cottonwood Pass for the first time in 2009? :)

-Steve (May 23, 2009)

Cottonwood Pass Is Open; It Feels Like Summer!

Mt. Princeton

Cottonwood Pass opened for vehicular traffic earlier this week and I look forward to traveling up there for the first time in 2009. I am very confident there will be plenty of snow to photograph. Yay!

It feels like summer in Chaffee County. I got a summer job at a rafting company have been enjoying booking raft adventures for tourists, visitors and experienced river rats. Today it reached the 60's again too! I have a hike planned on Tuesday; I plan to explore some mountains near Boss Lake in the southern section of the county near Monarch Pass. :)

Purple, Lavendar and Orange Over Mt. Princeton

Colorado Sunset

Last night I was sitting in my living room and typing on my laptop when I noticed some pretty colors forming over the mountains. I grabbed my camera, walked outside and gazed at this amazing view. Look at that sunset!

Gorgeous View Of Mt. Princeton

Mt. Princeton, CO

I drove east of Johnson Village for today's Mt. Princeton photo. I made a short drive this morning and tweeted four photos of Mt. Princeton, the Arkansas River, the mountains near the Mt. Princeton Hot Springs and the Maxwell Park Schoolhouse. Many of my twitter followers seemed pleased! :)

An interesting link: Pictures From The Sky.

-Steve (May 15, 2009)

Blue Sky and Green Earth

Mt. Princeton

Blue and green. On these bright and sunny mornings, the blue of the sky and the green of the earth are the two main colors I see. I suppose the yellow of the prairie grass is another main color as well, but I've become so accustomed to it that I don't notice it.

I hope everyone is well this morning. I really do appreciate if you regularly visit this web site. I aim to update this web site everyday with a new Mt. Princeton photo. Have encouraging feedback for me? Comment on the Buena Vista, CO forum or send me a reply to my Twitter page. :)

Good Morning From Buena Vista, Colorado

Mt. Princeton, CO

Good morning from Buena Vista, Colorado! That was the headline I placed in the subject area when I tweeted this photo on my Twitter profile. My digital camera was not working and it very well may be dead, and so I snapped the photo above with my cell phone.

I don't have much else to say. I've been pouring more time and energy into my bicycle across America memoir lately. It feels good to have sense some purpose these days.

-Steve (May 13, 2009)
