Suncoast Humane Society

Bandit is back with us for the fourth time in four months. We are looking to find him a home with a family that is familiar with his breed, Treeing Walker Coonhound, and understands all that entails.

Bandit is a wonderful dog! He is 1 year old. Smart, loving, intelligent, confident, and he enjoys interacting with humans. He is best with large breed dogs. He loves the water and will jump right in. He travels well in the car, is house & crate trained, loves dog toys, loves kids. He absolutely loves the dog park. He also needs physical activity, mental stimulation, and continued socialization. He is not a lazy couch potato. He needs an active family or owner who is going to engage with him every day.

Please share Bandit with anyone you think can provide him a proper home!

This place is a little treasure if ever happen to be in Woodland Park, CO

Red Rocks Trail is just down the road from the Bristlecone Lodge. This trail is dog-friendly, offers great forest scenes and stunning rock formations.

There are several parking lots available, after you take the right into the Red Rock Campground Area, where you can park and hike to the rock formations.

Truer words I have never heard, thank you for this story.

On this overlook, I met a 77 year old woman who’d been traveling the world for 8 years. She wore a hat that was wilted down with pins she’d picked up in the dozens of countries she’d visited—Albania, Japan, Russia, Argentina. After almost a decade of travel, her hat was more metal than felt... its brim drooped under the weight of all the those souvenirs. I was wearing a few pins of my own, selected for the day from my own collection, a magpie, a coyote, a moose pin from Montana. Being the pin collector I am, I just had to approach her to pay my compliments.
-
Her name was Jo. At 69, Jo had decided to invest her life’s savings into an endless journey of traveling the world until she died, paying her middle-aged daughter to accompany her “as my assistant,” Jo said with a wink. “I told her we had to do it, because this has been my dream since I was your age,” she said. Sounded like we had more than just pins in common....
-
We bantered for awhile, until JR told me he wanted to take a photo. Jo watched intently as I tiptoed out to the overlook’s edge, past the sidewalk and onto the granite. Her eyes sat heavy on me all the way. When I came back to the lot, she stopped me, and in a coarse voice said “You know, you’re lucky you have the chance to come here while you can still walk. It’s so pretty I could cry, but in this chair, this is as far in as I’ll go.”

And with misty eyes I looked down and said “yeah well isn’t it true that it’s never too late to do what you’ve dreamed...but that in the same way, it’s also never too early.” Then I stooped down and hugged her, and she whispered in my ear “Never let anyone tell you you’re wasting your time.”
-
Since then, whenever anyone’s accused JR and I of being hopelessly irresponsible, devoting our younger years to travel and to wholehearted living, to manifesting the largely impractical things that make our wandering souls sing, I’ll look em in the eyes and say: “A 77 year old woman told me to go while I can still walk, and that’s wisdom from my elders I’d like to follow.”

Pikes Peak, America's Mountain

Every day, the mountain is different, some days solemn, some days joyous, some seemingly morose....all days, however, are amazing!

Great shots :)

Living above the clouds means the sun shines, often. This creates a unique and wonderful environment, especially in the winter. While the weather outside might be frightful, elsewhere, often here in Woodland Park, CO the weather is fine for a walk in the woods with friends.

A favorite, well traveled trail, takes on a whole new wonder.

Call in phone code "Mountain Time" gets you a discount on your weekday stay Bristlecone Lodge - call for details!

Bristlecone Lodge

Bristlecone Lodge

It's like a moving painting...

This was taken while getting in some hiking today in Lovell Gulch. Fall's paintbrush is dripping drops of color on the hills around Woodland Park, CO.

Drops of golds, yellows, browns, and reds, against the backdrop of Pikes Peak - America's Mountain provide truly majestic views.

Don't miss this brief opportunity, reserve your weekday stay today!

This video was taken on the Crags Trail, right at the treeline. This is the beginning of the area known as "The Devil's Playground". It is named this as the iron content of the rocks you see make lightning strikes ricochet for hundreds of feet in any direction. Like a pool ball bouncing off the rails, the lightning can travel hundreds of feet horizontally after the initial strike.

The view from here is as breathtaking as the hike to this point.

Quartz has a vast array of qualities including to help expand consciousness and facilitate opening communication and stimulating the chakras. For those needing clarity of mind, clear quartz healing properties will eliminate energy blockages and allow energy to flow smoothly throughout the body.

This quartz point is $30 and comes with a necklace.

Bristlecone Lodge

I think Fall is my favorite season of the year. Though I say that about every season :)

Here at the Bristlecone Lodge, the weekends book up very fast in the fall and winter. There are still some vacancies available, especially during the week. You will want to reserve your cabin now for your quick getaway to see Mother Nature paint the world on the largest canvas possible.

When it comes to where to find the best locations, wandering leads to wondering at the unexpected.

A Wander, last year, to the Boreas Pass area, yielded a Top Ten wonder.....

Wondering leads to wandering which leads to more wonder :)
