Are you feeling overweight, tired, or simply unhealthy? Have you tried to lose weight and failed?

You are not alone.

Camping Season, Summer Concerts, Outdoor Fun right around the corner in Gypsum

admin — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 15:36:16 +0000

Spring is nearly here, you can feel the warmth and the smell of things coming back to life in Gypsum Colorado. If there’s one thing I love about Gypsum, it’s the spring, summer, and fall. Don’t get me wrong, winter is not bad, but the spring summer and fall bring all sorts of great outdoors opportunities.

The balmy mornings when you can take a walk outside, or the pleasant friday summer evenings listening to a concert at the Lundgren Theater is what life in Gypsum is all about.

One of the other great opportunities in Gypsum is the camping, hiking, dirt biking, mountain biking, and all those other things we can do in the backcountry around Gypsum. A great website I stumbled on the otherday which is a great resource for campers is campingtoiletstore.com. This online store sells portable camping toilets at great prices. With camping season right around the corner I figured I would share that link.
