Memorial Day Camping - May 26 to 29, 2006

We had a great Memorial day weekend with camping near Deckers at the South Platte River. Actually we were not directly at the river, but close by at the Indian Creek Campground. There are some great, secluded campsites. We did plenty of fishing, biking and just hanging out and enjoying the nice scenery. The fish did not bite too aggressive, but we caught at least two big ones and a few smaller ones, which we released again. We grilled the big ones and they were tasty.
