8:34 PM It’s been raining all day.
Went hiking on a new trail today, the Ute trail on Flagstaff Mountain. I was impressed to find that there was a separate path that was wheelchair-accessible. It was foggy to the point of not being able to see more than 15-20 feet. I drove through curvy mountain roads, never hitting over 35 mph (and even that for always less than 5 seconds at a stretch).
I took my camera with me, but as is bound to happen to everyone at some point in time (I like to think), I forgot the memory card in the reader, attached to the laptop at home. It would have been a wonderful photo-taking opportunity.

After that one, I went back to Chautauqua Park that I last hiked almost two months ago. We (Lila and I) didn’t do the strenuous Royal Arch hike I did last time, but the much easier Bluebell-Mesa (0.6 miles) – Bluebell-Baird (0.7 miles) loop. (link)
