Blue Mesa Reservoir

Blue Mesa Reservoir is Colorado’s largest body of water, and it just so happens to be the largest Kokanee Salmon fishery in the United States. It’s also one of my favorite places to visit in the summer.
I like it because it’s fairly centrally located, so it’s easy to get to and they have some great camping spots in various areas around the lake. They also offer boat rentals, which IMHO is the leisurely way to pass the time in this beautiful area. It’s also adjacent to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, which I hope to explore a bit more in a couple weeks.
I’ve had the opportunity to visit Curecanti National Recreation Area several times over the past few years and have camped at a couple different spots.
Lake Fork Campground was a great place for tent camping before it was remodeled. Apparently, Lake Fork is now an RV only campground as I could not find any tent sites for this campground at ReserveAmerica. It’s great if you like camping with all the comforts of home! This campground is right on the shores of Blue Mesa Reservoir and near the Blue Mesa Dam.
Gateview is another nice campground, and now my favorite so far, located in a deep, narrow canyon at the extreme south end of the Lake Fork Arm of Blue Mesa Reservoir. Getting there entailed taking CO Highway 149 7 miles west of Powderhorn, then 6 miles north on the gravel Blue Mesa Cutoff Road. I had the opportunity to get a close up view of two bighorn sheep scrambling on the scree above our campsite. It was an amazing experience! Brown trout are abundant in the river that flows through this canyon and we had a great time exploring the area and peering into an abandoned mine along the riverbank.
In a couple weekends, we’ll be testing out the Elk Creek Campground which lies amidst treeless sagebrush and provides views of the magnificent mesas that surround the area. Elk Creek is also where the marina is located and where we’ll be renting a boat for the day. I’m looking forward to having showers, which is a treat for any campground. We;ve already got our reservation for a spot near the water. Can’t wait!

TGIF
(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...Another Friday is now upon us. Once again. I can honestly say this has been one of the busiest weeks I’ve had in awhile. Freelancing AND working my 40+ hour per week day job is stretching me pretty thin.
I’ve got a few big projects on deck at the moment. Highest priority is getting my portfolio whipped into shape so it’s presentable to the public. Getting close.
Also on deck is a forthcoming web site for The Longevity Doctor promoting healthy living and wellness. Development is moving right along and Dr. Mayer Horensten is a great client. He’s provided plenty of content and and imagery and is very good about getting back to me with feedback. This allows me to maintain momentum and keep the ball rolling. Current release date for this website will be July 5, 2008. Look for it.
Current weather: Mostly Cloudy 81°F. Tonight we can expect a Low of 54° with Isolated Thunderstorms and a 30% chance of rain.
HTPC – Home Theater PC
(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...For quite awhile now, I’ve wanted to set up a media center PC in my Living Room to make internet access, digital photos, music and videos more convenient. Plus, it would just be really cool to be able to jump online and check email in between movies or TV shows. Here’s a diagram of the proposed addition (1 and 3) and my plan for configuring it into my current network.
My main goal was being able to listen to music – stored on my network’s external hardrive – and surf the internet using my home theater audio system. Other tasks like viewing digital photos and videos are nice-to-haves. That said, I’m not necessarily planning on using this HTPC to view TV or to record digital video. I have another PC with a TV-Wonder card (I think that’s its name) and I might re-purpose the card at a later time. I don’t see much of a reason to do so right now, given that fact that I’m happy with the current setup and am only looking to add the PC to the exiting hardware.. Maybe in the future, I’ll set it up to record video to the PC’s hard drive.
Curecanti National Park
(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...Our weekend started at 9am on Saturday when we met up with Quentin, Chayo and his two boys, Diego and little Chayo. Our plan was to do a little recon of Curecanti National Park. We’re planning another trip there in August so we figured we’d get acquainted with the area so we knew what to expect. After a 4.5 hr drive through the heart of Colorado we made it to the Blue Mesa Reservoir. With its majestic sandstone cliffs and scenic mesas surrounding a canyon full of sparkling green water, we knew this was going to be a nice place to spend the weekend.
We set up our campsite, organized our food and gear then headed down to the Lake Fork Marina to rent a pontoon boat for a couple hours of fishing and relaxation on the lake. We cruised around the west end of the reservoir and explored a few inlets that yielded some calmer water than the main basin of the lake. We found some nice rocks to jump off of into the water and spend a few minutes cooling off. Quite literally.
By the time we returned the pontoon and got back to our campsite, it was time to fire up the grill for some burgers, hot dogs and bratwurst. We had worked up and appetite and were ready to relax by the campfire. We stayed up till almost midnight then hit the sack to prepare for the next day.
