Truck Camping in the Mt. Princeton Hot Springs Area

Located just south of Buena Vista west of Hwy 285, and one of our favorite places to camp.   There was a forest service camp ground nearby, but as was our habit, we jameed our 4WD truck back into some obscure but flat spot and camped for free.  Plus in this case we had a much better view.

The name of the creek running through the area was “Chalk Creek”, and I have a memory of these white cliffs being called the Chalk Cliffs.

The exact month of this trip is unknown.

Spildie Graduation party from UWy in Laramie

The party of the year.  Every Cheesehead in Colorado was there, packing Dave’s swank bachelor apartment.

Things started with a barbecue at some godforsakenwindswept baseball field and continued on into the night. A line was crossed into Halloween territory when Dave’s panty drawer was raided. Hey, at least between the florid BVDs and the layers of t-shirts, everyone remained clothed.  Still, new lows were reached when the dreaded Spoons Glasses made their appearance.

Jean Wilhelm claims that the clothing theft was a collaboration between her and Kathy Laurie.  (It’s amazing that anyone would take responsibility.)
