Colorado 2011 - Day 7

Yesterday when I wrote the post and tried to add pictures the internet connection here in the park was so iffy that I lost it all. So this morning I headed into Loveland to go to the AT&T store to get there mobile hotspot. Works like a charm! So ... Breck and I went to the dog park where he got to swim and run around a bit before the drive. Then we headed down the canyon - it is not much of a hardship because it is a really pretty drive. The AT&T store was anightmare as are all cellular company stores - took forever!! Poor Breck was out in the car - with the top down and the windows open and a bowl of water - and it was only 82! Once that chore was done we headed back up to Estes Park - making a McDonald's stop on the way out of town - lucky dog had a hamburger! In the canyon I stopped and picked up some rocks - yes Kathe - rocks are on the way back to TX. When we got home I set up the MiFi and was able to load pictures! Then at 3:30 I met Schers at her campground and we hiked 4.25 miles up to Sprague Lake and back. Most of it was on a horse trail and was really not wonderful. But we did it and know we don't have to do it again! Then we went to the Sun Deck for Scherry's belated birthday dinner. All in all a pretty good day here in the mountains where it is not 105!
