Pandemic Disappointment – Again

Posted on January 23, 2021January 20, 2021No Comments on Pandemic Disappointment – Again

Stagecoach State Park is located in the Yampa Valley about 15 miles from Steamboat Springs, Colorado. It has a large reservoir – over 800 acres for water sports with hiking trails around the perimeter of the lake. The buildings were all closed due to the Covid pandemic. Little did we know, there was history here … Continue reading Pandemic Disappointment – Again

Fear of Maps

Posted on November 28, 2020November 20, 2020No Comments on Fear of Maps

How well do you read maps? Do you know how to navigate without any GPS, Satellite or Internet service?  This skill of map reading and navigation was vital in upper Wisconsin. I had forgotten the big atlas and had only a small map of the individual 50 states. The WiFi or Internet service was spotty, our … Continue reading Fear of Maps

Losing Her

Posted on October 17, 2020October 15, 20201 Comment on Losing Her

Throughout this summer I was losing a friend to cancer. She and I were neighbors, spiritual sisters, cancer survivors, and hiking buddies. Her illnesses slowed her hiking over the last couple years, but she never stopped hiking and walking until she could no longer breathe from her lung metastasis. It is hard to not see … Continue reading Losing Her

Perfect Perfection Destroyed

Posted on September 12, 2020August 18, 2020No Comments on Perfect Perfection Destroyed

East of Glenwood Springs, Colorado up in the Glenwood Canyon lies a rest stop off of I 70.  It presents the Best of Colorado:  Raging Colorado River, Grizzly Creek feeding into the River through the valley, boulders, rock path, crashed trees and those cerulean blue skies.  And clean restrooms. It is also the place of my old … Continue reading Perfect Perfection Destroyed

Cow Jumped over the Moon

Posted on August 15, 2020July 25, 2020No Comments on Cow Jumped over the Moon

 The black cow lowers its head and watches us carefully as it chews on the grass.  In the distance it has seen the little white dog in the grass.   The little white dog becomes intertwined with its genetic calling.  A schipperke was bred to nip at the heels of horses along the canals in Belgium.   Taz, our … Continue reading Cow Jumped over the Moon

Speed Hiking

Posted on August 8, 2020July 25, 2020No Comments on Speed Hiking

Facebook groups are a marvelous way to find people whom like the same things you like and have great information.  I found two groups this year:  “Women who Hike Colorado” and “Colorado Springs Lady Hikers”.  You have to be approved to be in the group, but I enjoy the posts, pictures and the hiking information very much.  Some … Continue reading Speed Hiking

Sunstroke in Canyon

Posted on July 11, 2020June 18, 2020No Comments on Sunstroke in Canyon

Less than four miles should be easy.  It should be a delightful day.  We should have enough time before it gets too hot.  The dog should be alright with a creek.  There should be shade. We should have enough water – three 16 oz bottles.  I should not burn as I have sunscreen on my face and arms. We should … Continue reading Sunstroke in Canyon

Unexpected Change

Posted on July 4, 2020June 13, 2020No Comments on Unexpected Change

Check the weather.  Take your hiking pack.  Water.  Treats, leash, bowel and waste bags for the dog.  Look at the app and/or map to plan an unknown journey.  Boots.  Walking Stick.  Camera/Phone.  We are prepared for an early morning 4 mile hike in town on a new trail in Palmer Park.  Or so I thought.  Within 10 minutes of climbing on the north side … Continue reading Unexpected Change

Country Walking with Social Distancing

Posted on June 6, 2020May 29, 2020No Comments on Country Walking with Social Distancing

In the age of Covid-19, we must be adaptable.  We wanted to walk in one area in the mountains, but it was closed.  We went to Mueller State Park, but there can be no dogs on the trail, so that did not work.  We finally drove to a favorite hike – Dome Rock Wildlife Viewing.  In my five times … Continue reading Country Walking with Social Distancing
