Camping with Janie & Richard in CO mtns - June 21, 1962

We two couples each had a son that was under a year old. We left them with their grandparents and embarked in a camper on Dad Parker's pickup to the Rocky Mountains. We traversed roads that we should never have been on. Even had to go on a power line road in order to get back to Turquoise Lake since we did not have enough gas to go back where we came from.Janie and I hiked lots and the guys fished. One evening when they came back with some "supposed fish for supper", they both had on the loudest plaid walking shorts with their cowboy boots and hats and fishing poles. We all laughed till we cried. I cherish the picture I have of them.
Another time Jack and Richard went antelope hunting and came home early, not with an antelope each, BUT a fine each from the game & fish. A bit spendy day.
We so remember the time they came to Idaho for Christmas and nearly froze going home as their car ran out of gas. Richard hitched a ride with a hippie in an old beat up jalopy. Janie thought she might never see him again.
