Rifle River Recreation Area

So the wife and I stayed at the Scaup Lake cabin, at RRR Area and I must say the trip was horrible.  Ok I need to explain that.. the weather was awful.  The entire three days and two nights it was overcast and drizzly.  Plus it seemed as though the deep south had shipped a large crate of humidity up there. then there were the mosquitoes... BIG ones and they were everywhere.

The lakes and the wood themselves are VERY pretty, very scenic and the Scaup cabin area was extremely quiet.  If the weather had been better it would have been awesome.

The cabin was very clean, and very cool (like temp-wise inside) plus cool in just.. cool.  It's not a CCC-era cabin, much newer but still nice.  Double-paned Anderson windows, an extremely heavy butcher-block style dinner table and nice wooden chairs.  The bunk beds however, were lacking in solid construction.. or maybe at one point in time they were structurally sound.  Anyone but a child sleeping up top would be dangerous to the lower occupant.
