We had so much fun at Mount Falcon that we decided to try this again. Tomorrow is Dawn's birthday and she has chosen Boulder for our outdoor excursion today. We kidnapped Nancy and took off to Boulder to hike the Chautauqua trails in the park of that name. It started off a little windy. We found someone nice enough to take a picture and then we joked about following him the rest of the way so he could take more for us. I am not sure he got our humor.
This trail was muddy as well but a totally different type of mud. This mud was thick and black and stuck to your shoes. Nancy looked like she was picking up small trees along the way. This trail wasn't quite as long but it sure did have some slippery spots in it. The snow was slick from melting and refreezing. We saw plenty of dogs along the way and we had a guy who had a cute short dog ask us if he was going the right way. We had no clue so hopefully he found what he was looking for.
As we were heading back down we took a side path to take some pictures. Dawn and Nancy spent sometime playing "find the perfect rock to sit on" while Cheyenne and I waited. As soon as it was our turn to go down by Nancy, I noticed a lot of cactus flattened on the ground. Cheyenne and I maneuvered to the spot and when she went to sit down, she yelped. I have very rarely heard her do that. I am not sure what the final verdict was but she has recovered from the incident. At that point we decided it was time to go.
For lunch we went to Subway and ate in the car with Cheyenne as we watched people in Goodwill shop.
