An Easy Day at 7000 Ft

Our mini-anny continues with a laid-back day planned. We started the day at the Elden Pueblo just north of town. Kathie remembers when we visited years ago and said they have done a lot of reconstruction since then.

We then headed over to Buffalo Park and hiked a couple of miles, expecting a view from the mesa (or so implied the interweb). However, it was flat, but a nice park. Good thing it only reached 86F or so. This was originally a wild west park which included bison, elk , deer barnyard animals, Indian hogans, and a stagecoach ride. The park closed in 1969 when the buffalo kept escaping the harsh winters and entering neighboring yards. So, there's you history lesson.

We then continued our history lesson watching a documentary on our 16th President and the true tales of his life. I did not realize how vital he was to controlling the spread of vampirism in these United States.

After the difficult battles with night creatures, we had to wind down in the hot tub. I barely have energy to enter this post. You are just lucky that I am a creature of habit and not of the night.
