| Colorado National Monument |
We left the farm early on a Saturday morning and headed back to Colorado and then North towards Grand Junction. On the way we ran into a traffic jam, not a traditional traffic jam, but a herd of about 200 cattle roaming around down the middle of the road, we proceeded to get into a 10 minute long mooing and honking battle before we finally managed to get through. We finally arrived at our Colorado National Monument around 5PM. Even though it was a Saturday night on a beautiful weekend, we managed to get a camp site ( one of the last) and had dinner and relaxed. It was also the first time we had ever mobile phone reception in a National Park, so we could make some phone calls and catch up with home. The next morning I woke up early and headed out on a 15 mile road / trail run. What a great way to see a park, and get a long run in at the same time. I am in the process of preparing for the Mayor’s Marathon in Anchorage Alaska, June 18th. Rose and I spent the afternoon, hiking about 4 miles down into the canyon, and then returned back up to the Canyon rim under a hot sun. This was the best weather we had see yet on the trip, for the first time we were in shorts, ti-shirts and flip flops at camp. The next day we packed up camp and headed for Denver.
