This Little Piggy Went To Steamboat
A Lake Just Outside Of Town, Steamboat, Colorado
It was another weekend spent in the mountains. This time we headed up to Steamboat for the 4th annual pig roast. We got up there on Friday night and after a large plate of Szechwan at the Canton. We headed over to Mahogany Ridge for a couple of drinks. I was looking forward to hearing a Greatful Dead/Metallica cover band but was disappointed by some salsa crap. I don’t mind a little salsa music, but when you are expecting the incredible blend of heavy&hippy, salsa simply doesn’t satisfy.
Saturday morning we grabbed a bite at Winonas. I highly suggest this place. Everything we had was great. I had the Lox Omelet (being Yom Kippur and all), which was delicious. Don’t forget to get one of the cinnamon rolls that are larger than your head and literally ooze with icing.

After breky, we went up hiking at Mad Creek. We had a quick but beautiful 3 mile. If you haven’t been reading the annex lately, I’m getting into this whole leaf changing thing and the higher elevations in Colorado are perfect for some peeping. After the hike it was down to Strawberry Park for a soak. Strawberry Park is also another really cool place were natural hotsprings and some incredible masonry/stonework divides a natrally running river into separate cells with varying water temparatures.

The pig roast was a blast. Thanks to everyone in steamboat for their hospitality. There was a fun and generous group of people (the bus driver for Crosby, Stills & Nash excepted) up there who hooked us up with beds, beer, entertainment, a bon fire, dinner and laughs. Not to mention a pig.

this little piggy goes out of town a lot. good for you.
if li’l pig (based on current hip hop naming trrends) stays in town one weekend, he should come get mud-faced with the rest of us.
