Didn't even feel like getting out of bed this morning, much less going out and doing anything... But after wrestling with my mind I finally made it out the door 🙂 Of course having doggies who need their daily activities attended to help a lot! Had to make a stop at Walmart to pick something … Continue reading Road Trip

Magical Morning
This morning began like any other... coffee, toast and an early start with the doggies for our hike in the woods. A magical mist filled the cool air this morning and the amazing green foliage seemed more lush than ever. The doggies even seemed to notice and were having a blast licking the water off … Continue reading Magical Morning
Wild Ass Day
Definitely a wild ass day in Cripple Creek! lol... well technically it was a wild Equus asinus day in the old west gambling and gold mining town. Turns out the latest house I was trying to buy down there is back up for grabs... it went under contract out from under me but is back … Continue reading Wild Ass Day
Turning Point
One of those memories from one year ago popped onto my Facebook today, it was a great memory of a great day, breakfast with my beloved cousin whom I hadn't seen for too many years to even count. However the good part of that day was overshadowed by the memory of the rest of the … Continue reading Turning Point
The Clearing
Continued my exploration of the new trailhead and trail system that I have been working for the last couple of weeks. After encountering "the gate" I had to branch out in a new direction and the cool cloudy morning we are having seemed just the day to do that. So early this morning the puppies … Continue reading The Clearing

Wings of Eagles
After the possibilities I discovered yesterday in my new trails paradise I was a bit more eager to get in the truck and get back up there today. I didn't realize how hiking the same exact trail every day for eight years had become complete drudgery. I never even liked that part of the trail, … Continue reading Wings of Eagles
Amazing Day
Amazing end to an amazing day, fascinating how things turn out sometimes... but I'll get to that later. The day started out great when I decided to explore a new trailhead that the troll doesn't know about and I found a magnificent parking lot, an open space park and a whole network of trails, including … Continue reading Amazing Day
Rough Start
Wasn't sure I was going to make it out this morning... I don't know, maybe it's the damp weather, or maybe just too many hours on the loading docks this week, but when I awoke this morning it felt like a bomb had exploded inside my body. Got up, turned on the coffee pot and … Continue reading Rough Start
