Day Six & Seven: National Beauty
Dateline: New Mexico Visitor's Center
Good times are being had by most. Thankfully most includes me this time. I hit up Rocky Mountain National Park two days ago and hiked to Loch Lake. There I had a good hour to read before having to hike the three miles back to the car. The scenery was absolutely beautiful.
I left Denver yesterday to head down to Santa Fe. I didn't make it – Pikes Peak got in my way. I drove the hour up the mountain to take in the spectacular views. I found a nook in which to read, pray, and journal. The temperature dropped 15-20 degrees while I was at the Peak. On the way down I stopped on a pull-off to play guitar and enjoy a raging thunderstorm only a few miles away, almost at eye level. When I could no longer feel my fingers I continued down the hill. I was quite thankful that I left my winter gloves in the glove compartment (appropriately).
Good times to continue … stay tuned.
