    Default Family Fun this weekend



    One of my best friends is in town this weekend and wanting to take his family for a mountain outing. They have plans Sun morning but want to go after. Was thinking Boulder because it is close and offers water, wheelin and hiking in close proximity. Any suggestions? Was thinking Boulder lake...never been there...always went swimming near Boulder Falls but a little cold and fast for a 2 year old.

    Fall River Res. is nice too, closer than Boulder! There is also the hike to St. Mary's Glacier, after running Yankee, just some biased thoughts You could also run up to Saxon and down to G.Town lake. How about Bill Moore Lake?

    You may swim there, the water temps got to be 30-40 degrees, so be carefull. Certainly is refreshing to take a cold plunge every now and then. On a serious note, there was a drowning death (almost 3) up here at St. Mary's Lake in 2009, very sad story, a couple of news crews came up. Really crazy part is watching the kids diving off the rocks behind the sheriff giving the interview, all while the dive teams are trying to recover the body. Do not try to swim across the lakes up here. Memorial Day Weekend for us up here is notorious for having snow or hail storms, so be ready for crazy weather. Bring your fishing poles.

    This time of year, it's just too damn cold to swim outdoors...unless it's a hot spring.
