Colorado May 2011 - Day 14

Okay - today is Friday. Tuesday and Wednesday were days for visiting with old friends. On Tuesday Scherry and I met Joan in Boulder. We had a good visit and had lunch. Then on Wednesday Jeannie and Ken drove up from Denver. It was great to see them - it had been a LONG time. We visited and had lunch. It was nice. Then on Thursday Schers and I headed out for a hike to Cub Lake. Boy am I out of shape. Last year this hike was fairly easy BUT yesterday it almost killed me!! It is a little over 5 miles with a 540' elevation gain. We had a great day for it. We saw lots of animals - marmots, chipmonks (though Schers keeps telling me they are ground squirrels), ducks with babies, and elk. We ate lunch up at Cub Lake which is a beautiful spot and then headed back down the trail. Only problem with this trail is that at the very end, when you are bone tired, there are 3 or 4 little (and I do mean little) hills that you have to go up and over! That is just cruel and unusual punishment as far as I am concerned!! Here are some pictures from yesterday plus one of Breck having fun at the dog park - thanks Schers for the good pic of Breckers.
