We had an extremely great day. Yesterday was pretty hazy with smoke from neighboring fires. Today was fairly clear, just a little bit of haze. We did a little bit of shopping downtown (t-shirt, fudge, Christmas ornament, some hardware), then boarded the Green Jeep Tour vehicle for a 3 hour ride through the Rocky Mountain National Park. Got some good pictures of big horn sheep, marmots, elk, mountains and high valley lakes. Also some pretty flowers, including the state flower, Columbine (didn't turn out very clear, but I kept it anyway). It got feeling real nice up on top, 12000 ft, 50F and 50 mph wind, maybe it'll help keep us cool through Kansas. We ended the day with salad and pizza downtown then a shuttle ride back to our little home on the hill. We're really going to hate to leave tomorrow, we're exchanging 80F day/50F night for 100F/75F night for a good part of the rest of our vacation. We'll really be ready for fall when it gets here.
