Colorado Quickie

* Met Michelle from Colorado–in brief: Seven buckets of awesome, and she bought me lunch! (And gifts. I don’t know why, but the the gifts were so wonderful I mostly tucked them under my arm and ran with them–you CAN’T have my hand quilted sock bag back, you just CAN’T!) Pictures to follow next week–Michelle, Mate and I had a BLAST!

* While we were eating ‘High Tea’ (mmmmm…) there was a Denver native cycling by blasting Queen from a portable car speaker. Curious. Very curious.

* We took note of the following warning sign: Attention: Correctional facility 1/2 a mile away. Do NOT pick up hitchhikers.
I shit you not.

* The road from Denver to Granby is 3x as terrifying at night.

* Granby falls is a lovely little tourist trap. Mate and I fell in happily.

* *pant* *gasp* *wheeze* 3/10 of a mile my ASS! *wheeze* *gasp* *pant* Yes folks, the air IS that thin–but the little hike was so worth it. Did I mention pictures when I get home?

* We’re off to visit friends now–I’m going to spend all Monday catching up on blogs! (Am looking forward to it!)
