Hi everyone,
When we left home on Thursday afternoon it was a little
later than we had planned. Isn’t that usually how it goes when you are packing
up for a trip? We never seem to get out of the house when we want to, but I can
tell you after multiple pack ups and tear downs we are getting faster. After
dropping off the puppy dog at Grandma’s house we headed east of the mountains.
You can imagine that Mom and Dad were a little surprised to
see the white stuff coming down while heading over the pass. Thankfully once we
got to the other side it was blue skies for us.
We enjoyed a little ice cream treat courtesy of our free
kids treat coupons and hopped back on the road. While Mom and Dad were setting
up the tent at the campsite I familiarized myself with the local area.
We took in a bit of the surrounding country the next
morning, Dad and me on the trail-a-bike and Mom going for a run. We mostly
stuck to the campground area and some of the service roads but we ventured out
onto a somewhat deserted trail to a very obscure little lake. We had big plans
the next day to complete three of the six trails biking/running and then bike
the other three on all our bikes. Imagine our surprise when we came out the
next morning to do another bike ride/run only to find all three tires on our
trail-a-bike completely flat. Yep. That obscure little trail we went on had
miniature thorns everywhere and there were at least three sticking in each of
the tires. Thank goodness Mom’s bike and my little bike were okay because we
were able to ride those down to the playground while Mom went and did her 6
miles by herself. I’m not sure that she enjoyed worrying about rattlesnakes
sunning themselves on her running path but she seemed to manage okay.
Stay tuned for more posts about our Tri-State Road Trip!
Until next time . . .
