I do too! I don’t live that far from it but it’s hard to get away these days. Everything is so expensive.

If not for you, I would never see these photos of the wilderness - a hiker I am not.

Interesting what you said about Pookie’s winter coat. Dave and I once had a cat with the same problem; matted fur. He had been abandoned and on his own for awhile when he found us. We named him Chauncey. I remember spending hours grooming him, clipping away the mats, until he was able to move be freely again.

Colorado is so beautiful out west this time of year. I miss smelling the sweet smell of Russian Olive trees. We have them here along the northern foothills of the Rockies but they just smell so much sweeter with the beautiful views you have out west. 😊

Yes, I lived in the foothills above Denver for a while - because I had to - but as soon as the Social Security kicked in, I was off to the West Slope.

I wish you I’d set off for then about 20 years ago when I had the chance. I lived in Denver for a while but it got too crazy so I got the hell outta there. I love the front range but it’s so expensive anymore for anything! It’s like you’re almost stuck because it costs too much to move and with percentage rates as high as they are, you really don’t want to buy right now.
