June 30 -- I've been on the mountain!

Dick suggested a route through Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park and by Grand Lake/Lake Granby. It was a beautiful trip. Plenty of people were out looking. The elk were up high in the tundra and a sheep was where it wanted to be.

I had dinner at the Cheese Cake Factory with several friends with NC ties. The meal was great and the company was better. I watched Matt play his murdercycle racing and transformer games while we waited to be served. After dinner we let Matt get in some riding practice.
