Detours

So far the pattern has been that any drive we take will end up taking another 25% of what it should normally take. If there’s something that we feel merits a detour, we usually take it.  The sun was just now setting and we saw a sign for a lookout so we followed the dirt road for a mile out to a 15-minute walking trail. In order to make the stop a little speedier we turned the walking trail into a jogging trail. But the 9,666 ft. altitude did not look favorably on that decision. Once our heartbeats slowed we were able to enjoy the sun making shadows of pine trees as it hid behind the Rockies. On our hike back down Sammy had me stop to notice the sound: silence. No cars, no bugs, no wind, no nothing. 

(We tried to post some pictures from the last few days but it didn’t work for some reason.  They’ll come soon though!)
