Denver

Got into Denver last night. The ride here was longer than expected. But beautiful. Snow and ice from a passing storm made the trip about an hour longer. That, plus a lot of construction on the highway 80 and highway 76.

Made a number of stops to take some photos. Got one of an original Pony Express outpost somewhere in Nebraska. Forgot the name of the small town. But it was cool to see that kind of history.

This morning, Lee and I headed to Red Rocks, and then for a hike. Got to see a show at Red Rocks at some time. That has to happen. We hiked close to Red Rocks. I'm not embarrassed to tell you, I was sucking wind. And I'm not blaming it on the altitude. Sure the air is thin. But I'm also lugging around a hefty amount. But it felt good to get out. It was a bit chilly. Roughly 30-degrees. But the views were incredible.

Oh, we also drove through Evergreen, CO, a small town in the foothills of the Rockies. As we went along, I looked out the window at a small park. Chilling there was about 15 elk. Including a 14-point bull! This animal was majestic. The kind any hunter would have loved to have seen in their scope, instead of noshing on some grass next to a kiddie playground.

Again, images of all this will come soon. Once I get them developed after returning to Memphis.
