Today we hiked a small part of the Colorado Trail. This is Colorado’s premier long distance trail that runs for almost 500 miles from Denver to Durango, through the Rocky Mountains, at times along the continental divide. Trail users experience six wilderness areas and eight mountain ranges. We encountered bikers and hikers and saw evidence of horseback riders on the trail. Our walk was only about 6 miles round trip along a fairly easy stretch of the trail. The forest and rock outcroppings were so pretty and peaceful.
Last night was an interesting night. Around 2 AM we were awakened by a noise that sounded like someone or something jumped on the front deck of the house and then ran down the driveway past our RV. Then a short time later I thought something was trying to get into the RV thru the screen by my head. The people and dogs inside the house also heard noises so the dogs were barking and Ray had a flashlight shining over the porch and drive. When we compared stories this morning, we concluded that it had to have been a person because Ray and Judy heard three knocks on the door and John heard what sounded like a two legged creature running. Later Ray discovered that the cover on his boat had been pulled up in one spot. Curious!
Then at 6 AM both of our cell phones rang. It was the alarm company letting us know that the burglar alarm was going off at our house! The sheriff's department sent someone to check the outside for forced entry and they found none. Our neighbors went inside and found the door that supposedly set off the alarm was closed tight. So now we have to get the alarm company out to our house to fix the faulty circuit.
Good thing we had a hike, steak dinner, wine and tiramisu to calm our nerves! Ha Ha!
