Beaver Creek Exploration

Hello Family & Friends,
I noticed it has been over a week since I posted, I compiled some pictures over the last few days and haven't taken time to put them online --- so now is the time. 

NOTE:  We still have Internet issues and today is one of the 1st days I've been able to get online in the afternoon so we'll see if we continue to have luck with Internet access.

I will do this post in two parts since I have lots of stored photos and I try not to have the post be too long.

We have been mushroom hunting again -- Boletes and Chanterelles (something new to add to the mushroom diet!)  If you want to read about Colorado edible mushrooms here's a link to a website with information.  Colorado Wild Edible Mushrooms

This is actually a Bolette and are the easiest to find this year --

You can see that we have a sack of them already found!

Chanterelles seem to grow in clusters and are found at higher elevations.

Chanterelles are just coming up

You have to really look to find them hidden in foliage and near downed trees.

Beaver Lake is full and many fisherman head that way to fish.

With all the snow and rain, you find new growing pine trees -- it is so good to see green!

Snow cap is diminishing each day, it is difficult to find much up there unless you are higher up.

We have been prospecting and having fun in the streams -- the tourist season seems to be winding up so the traffic is mostly on Thursday - Monday early, and the weekdays are less hectic.

Check out the next post for additional photos and less chat 😊 -- we miss you and are enjoying our cooler temps than the Midwest is surviving.  We do have lots of rain but this upcoming week seems to be drying out some.

Sending love and blessings your way,

Susan & Darrel
