Almont, Colorado

Blog by: Josh

After Great Sand Dunes National Park, we travelled to the beautiful town of Almont, Colorado. We pulled into our camping site and set up camp. Then, Uncle Matt went on a wading fishing trip on the Taylor River. He caught 3 fish and said that the fish were swimming all around his feet! While he was fishing, Eli and I walked around and threw the football. Then we made up a game where we had to knock over a chess piece that was placed on a big rock using small rocks, all from our camp chairs; it was hard! When Uncle Matt got back he told us fishing stories and we had dinner. Then Eli and I washed the dishes while Aunt Korin and Uncle Matt went for a run. The next day, Eli, Uncle Matt and I got up early to go on a fishing trip down the Gunnison River with our guide, Skylar. We drove to a boat ramp and set off down the river. We all caught a LOT of fish but a lot got away. The trip was SO much fun! We made jokes, ate food and fished. While were away Aunt Korin worked on her class assignments. When we came back, we relaxed, and drove into Crested Butte for dinner. Overall, Almont is now one of my top 10 favorite towns.
