We drove from Deadwood, SD to Estes Park, CO. This is one of the entrances to Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park and a very pretty town in and of itself. Small river running through town with a walk along it and the back patios of the stores and restaurants overlook the walkway and river. We needed a day off so we just spent time in a cool internet cafe and wandered around town etc. We really enjoyed kicking back and reading and resting - haha.
Okay - so much for lazing around - today we all four went up into the park and did a nice 5.6 mile hike up to an Alpine lake. It was beautiful. On the way back I got focused on the banana in a backpack ahead of me ( I was sooo hungry ) and just kept following them, thinking they were going back to the same trailhead we were. Well, Bill followed along and low and behold we ended up hiking an extra mile all seriously uphill and came out at a different trailhead. I have to say that extra uphill mile kicked my you know what! By the time we rode the shuttle back to our car there were Will and Heather relaxing and laughing at us. They have had alot of good laughs about this one. Oh well what can I say - maybe it was the universe telling me I needed some more exercise!
Today we decided to come to Boulder for the day. Bill and I remember this as one of our favorite stops in the past - we'll see how it has changed.
Hope the summer is going well for all of you. Take care and enjoy.

How come Will doesn't have the same kind of cap as the rest of you?
What is the answer to quiz from last blog?
That reminds me when Kristen, Rory, Gracy and I hiked up one side of the mountain at the Delaware Water Gap and came down the wrong trail - several miles out of the way and wound up in PA instead of NJ where our car was!! By that time, Gracy's pads on her paws were raw - a ranger had to drive us back to our car!! duh!! Gracy had to wear these big pink pads on her feet for weeks - poor puppy!
In answer to an anonymous question about the caps - only Bill and Heather are wearing the same caps - we all got them at the Giants game in SF. Will has a Phillies cap on and mine is just a generic white cap.
And in answer to the same person - Aces and eights are the deadman's hand and Calamity Jane is buried next to Wild Bill.
