Cowboy Jim‘s Stories Around the Campfire

One of the most exhilarating experiences in lift might be doing whitewater rafting on class 5 rapids.  Even smaller rapids can give you a fun and exciting ride.  And when you unexpectedly go overboard it can be terrifying, shocking and cold!  These are some of my whitewater stories that I think you'll like.

Some more of Ann (my wife) and my camping adventures.  This was one of the most special trips we took and Ann found out what "saddle sore" really is!  The country between the Weminuche Valley and Silverton in Colorado is some of the most spectacular anywhere in the world.

Hidden gold stories always intrigue us.  We wonder, "Is is really there?"  "What would I do if I found it?"  People spend their whole lives looking for hidden and buried treasure and once in a while -- someone finds some of it.  I guess that's what keeps us looking.
