The river was roaring and it was so close to the park. Less than half the price of The Stanley! Although if you are someone that enjoys tours like I do, the tour was definitely worth it- only $20!

It's seriously one of my favorite places ever, even with all the out-of-staters coming to visit. ;) I've never done any of the Stanley tours or stayed there. It's so pricey, and we're like you -- we want to be outside! We always either camp or get a hole-in-the-wall hotel room since all we're doing there is crashing at night.

I really almost yelled out something snarky like "It's just discolored." lol.<br /><br />Paul says there should be a rule that Americans aren't allowed to travel to Europe until they see all the beautiful things in our country. I was like, now Paul, I don't think that is a very fair rule! Be he is just adamant that there are so many beautiful things here, which I do agree with. However, I would love to go to Europe and I'm confident we will get there before we see absolutely everything in the US!Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-19954093904523673142016-06-16T21:36:27.048-04:002016-06-16T21:36:27.048-04:00WAIT.

I don't believe in ghosts either (except when I'm home alone at night laying in the dark), but I enjoy ghost tours; I always find the stories amusing. <br /><br />Your vacation pics are seriously so amazing. I always think that Europeans have it so nice because they can easily hop around to other countries, but we have it pretty good here too!

The tour I took was not labeled a ghost tour, but I figured they'd talk about it a little bit. I don't know, I just feel like I am being talked to as if I am an idiot when the tour guide is trying to tell me about ghosts. I know it is all in fun. I think I just take it too seriously. :) Character flaw of mine!Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-35891103960126398702016-06-16T14:32:12.263-04:002016-06-16T14:32:12.263-04:00Well listen, if you ever plan a trip to CO- whethe...Well listen, if you ever plan a trip to CO- whether it's this summer or in the future, hit me up and I will tell you the most beautiful places to go! :)<br /><br />I do understand what you are saying because I have something similar... even though I don't believe in ghosts, I get SUPER CREEPED OUT by movies about paranormal happenings. Like those Paranormal Activity movies are the scariest movies I have ever seen and after I watch them, I am legit scared in my house. :)Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-61664331910536160912016-06-16T14:06:33.870-04:002016-06-16T14:06:33.870-04:00OMG MEGAN.

I'm so glad you guys are having a great time and enjoying it.<br /><br />I don't believe in ghosts either at ALL, but I like going to creepy, ghostly places anyway. Does that make sense? I've never done a legit ghost tour where they talk like the ghosts really exist though. In Scotland we did a tour of an underground street where the population all died from the plague and that was super creepy. They talked about ghosts and called it a haunted street but they didn't have to go overboard to make it creepy!Ali K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15736472530374069410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-74596938143382391302016-06-16T13:58:21.346-04:002016-06-16T13:58:21.346-04:00That's the exact reason I haven't seen it ...That's the exact reason I haven't seen it yet. :)Meg Go Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707890742715926971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-58309309479047166532016-06-16T13:56:41.951-04:002016-06-16T13:56:41.951-04:00Omg that is such a fun fact about The Stanley!

Now, I need to clarify that I do not believe on afterlife or "paradise" even thought I was raised catholic, and the idea of "going to hell or heaven" was something heavily preached to me. But I believe that when somebody dies, that is just that, they die. But I believe that part of our spirit, aura or soul stays behind. I believe on a lot of things that are unnatural, just because they sound reasonable to me... I obviously watched a lot of The Adams Family when I was little. <br /><br />Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16110855725544210793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-15464756604524520642016-06-16T11:25:13.037-04:002016-06-16T11:25:13.037-04:00I didn't even know Dumb and Dumber was filmed ...I didn't even know Dumb and Dumber was filmed there until I took the tour!

Plus there is no scientific evidence! If scientists would ever come up with compelling evidence that ghosts exists, I would have to think twice about it.<br /><br />I have a friend who really believes in ghosts and has done the ghost tours at Gettysburg. She really loves those tours so I bet you would too!<br /><br />Paul did not catch any fish while we were in CO, and if he had, he would have thrown it back in due to the fact that he doesn't have the stuff to take it back.

I don't know how fishing works, but I'm assuming he couldn't take the fish to the hotel. <br /><br />Dry Salmon is the worst! that always seems to happen to Roger when we travel, once he got a half frozen salmon. But I'm sure the garlic bread made it better, now I'm craving garlic bread. <br /><br />I've never seen Dumb and Dumber, but I do love Jim Carey!<br /><br />What? You don't believe in ghost? I absolutely do! But I would not stay in a place that is hunted. We have thought about doing a ghost tour in Gettysburg before, just because it sounds fun.

I don't tire of Colorado. Yes, I have been to Estes more times than I can count. Rick and I love to take his Harley up there to try new restaurants (mostly looking for good buffalo burgers). I think I have seen Dumb and Dumber almost as many times as I have been to Estes (plus it's one of our most quoted movies!). I will say I do believe in ghosts. I just feel like if we are made up of energy and energy can't be created or destroyed, then our energy stays around after our body dies away.
