Loooong overdue, but a weekend trip to soothe the soul. C’mon Labor Day so we can do it again - but for longer.

Nothing like a little TX. Visited home and caught a little nature and my favorite- mushrooms.🍄‍🟫 It’s not CO mountains but still beautiful and wild!

My first time hiking Bulwark Ridge, and it’s a stunning hike! It has a steep launch, but levels out after about a mile and a half. The views of Meeker and Longs Peak were captivating!

Three counties of fire departments were on the trail training for wildfire instances. It was a neat experience to watch them in action.

Sybil and I had a blast today! I was supposed to be her mentor, but it would happen, I ended up being the mentee.

A wealth of knowledge about local flora and my favorite part, things you can eat! The weather cooperated, but it was muug-ggy.

There wasn’t any wildlife, and the trail wasn’t overburdened.

It was warm, but the clouds swooped in and gave us some cover! The trail was in great shape, people were in good form, and the conversation was incredible!

Savyge and I had a blast today. Man, she dragged me up the mountain to summit, and it was beautiful 🤩

When we first began, she would run forward then double back for ”messages”. Out of the blue, I just sang, 🎶🎵 I love my double back queen, my double back queen; I love my double back queen.. 🎵🎶 Just think baby back ribs for the tune… yeah, I haven’t eaten yet.

We met a few cool people on the trail, had some fun conversations, and thoroughly enjoyed our stroll.

For the most part, the trail was quiet, we had a lot of solitude, and Savvy loved having earth under the paws. It’s amazing how insync we are although we haven’t hiked like this in a while. It makes me smile 🐾🖤🐾
