July 5th, Colorado Living!
A second rest day! Thank you to all my family for a couple of care packages – my parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, Bestemor and Meems sent me some goodies to get me through the next stage of my ride. I can’t wait to eat all the snacks! I promise to save them for the ride, but I am like a bottomless pit over these last few days! I am eating so much!
We hiked to Harvard Lakes today, 3 miles out into to woods to a couple of small mountain lakes. All the small fish in the lake were jumping completely out of the water to try and catch bugs. It was so cool to watch. Later in the day we went rafting on the Arkansas River, hitting some class 3 rapids- Frog Rock, Lil’ Seidel, The Narrows and House Rock. I paddled up front with Miguel and got sprayed the whole ride! Such a blast!
Lots of pizza for dinner, and then early to bed to get ready for a big hike tomorrow!
