Day 13 – June 13 – Wandering Retirees

Today was an easy, low key day. We slept late (a leisurely 8:30) after watching Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals last night and lounged some, did some laundry, took a short jaunt through Devils Gulch and lounged some more. Our excuse is that we need to rest up for some strenuous days immediately ahead. Truth is, we also just felt like a break. And then there’s the hot tub.

Connie has some nice shots of our ride through an arid area carved from volcanic rock ejected some 40 million years ago. No snow today because we weren’t high enough, but lovely streams and a number of obliging elk who stepped forward to promote the Nat’l Park. Our ride lasted just 45 miles, which brings us to 2,700 miles overall!

A note about our hosts. Tom and Janet are the proprietors of this airBnB and they are so kind and obliging. They have made us feel like family and we are so fortunate to have met them. If you ever plan to visit Estes Park, CO and Rocky Mountain National Park, give us a shout and we’ll gladly share their contact information.

That’s about all for today. On the road for Casper, Wyoming tomorrow. For Rail Baron players, which railroad serves Casper? Double points if you don’t look. 😀

Have a great night!
