Highlights
Today was spent hanging around the campsite in the hammock listening to the rushing water in the creek or drinking a couple beers. Robin and Ross went on separate walks down the creek trail looking at the fish or the sunlight shining through the aspens.
On his way back down the trail, Ross saw a young woman getting out of the creek. Not only was she naked, she was buck naked. Rather than gawk at her body (she did not seem embarrassed), he tipped his hat and moved on.
We drove a couple miles down to the tiny town of Tom’s Place and enjoyed a beer at the saloon before moving over to the cafe to take advantage of the cafe’s Thursday special: prime rib. It was thick and juicy and cooked just right.
Lowlights
Ross took T'Chat for a walk. She has a tendency to get in touch with her feral inner kitten on such occasions, and resists all efforts to corral her back to the trailer. She manage to scratch the shit out of Ross when he tried to pick her up. Seven liters of whole blood infusions later, Ross would regain consciousness.
Observations
Once we unload our gear at the campsite and with the pets in tow, it is sometimes easier to stagger our morning physical activities so that Robin goes for a run while Ross minds the camp, and then they switch. Unfortunately, we don’t often run, hike, or bike together.
