Roaring River

Posted on Feb 21, 2012 in Daily Grind, Featured | 2 comments

For as long as I can remember I’ve had fond memories of Roaring River. My parents took us there regularly, either for the afternoon or for a weekend of camping. I’m not sure exactly what it is, but something about this state park always makes me feel good and relaxed…it’s just a nice place. This past weekend we took the girls for a fun afternoon with their cousins.

  1. Hey Ryan, I just discovered your blog while searching for “How to Build a Simple Deck.” What a great find your blog is! I’m Joplin born and raised but have been a Coloradoan for many years. Your photos are gorgeous and made me miss the midwest. Keep up the good work!

    P.S. Your deck post was helpful!

  2. Thanks Linda!
