Top of Aminas Mountain Trail
29. oktober 2022, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C
Animas City is what the city was called before the railroad came in and changed it to Durango. I hiked the Mountain that overlooks the city.
1,500ft elevation, 10+km and 3.25hrs.
Beautiful views and on the way back I went off trail and meant up with a mountain bike trail. Nearly run over a few times... And happy to find my way back to the original trail.Les mer

Last Day in Durango
29. oktober 2022, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 1 °C
A full day today!
Started with my final yoga class at Pause. Great start to the day! The instructor recommended Animas Mountian trail as a hike, so I took her suggestion.
Filled my water bottles, had yogurt and granola that brought with me and arrived at the trailhead at 11:11am.
Since I don't Strava I am not sure how many km I hiked, but it was over 10km, with a 1500 ft elevation.
Back home to let the dogs out, do laundry, shower, book Airbnb for final two days in the USA, chat with Jill who is now back home (and kindly let me stay an additional night).Les mer

Awesome Airbnb
30. oktober 2022, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
Cooked up a pancake and Rasberry breakfast for Jill.. She wanted help with moving stuff in her garage, so I stuck around, but she was busy with work things. We both sat on the couch (me sending TouchNote animal photo cards to Couchsurfers and Trusted House Sitters) and worked.
I left around noon and the drive was beautiful. I stopped for a 2hr soak at Jemez Hot Springs before continuing on to Albuquerque. I based up, bought some Cheddar and Sour Cream Ruffles (almost $6USD) and a Mikes Hard Lemondade. Arrived at the wonderful Airbnb and relaxed the remainder of the evening.Les mer

Unsinkable
31. oktober 2022, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 9 °C
Woke up, had a few work meetings and then watched the documentary, Unsinkable. Lots of food for thought!
The Sandia foothills are just behind the Airbnb so started out on one trail but ended up getting off and scrambling up several peaks for the view. Only climbed 650ft in elevation as I had to drop the car back to the rental.
Took an Uber back to Airbnb, enjoyed some sunshine on the back deck and watched the sun set. Packed, showered and started a fire to celebrate my last evening in USA.Les mer

Summing up NM & CO
1. november 2022, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 3 °C
At the airport now and heading to Calgary via Denver. This is what I have done with my time thus far. The first part was fun and I had a travel companion. Once Sue left, I had to dig deep and embrace my last 10days. I was lonely at times but still did stuff. People used to ask me what I enjoyed most about travelling with Ashlynn -- it was seeing the world through her eyes. What I miss the most about travelling alone is the shared experience, the understanding an experience thru another set of eyes.

Arrived in Calgary and Andrew picked me up. We had a stop at Samaritans Purse to see Pete and where they both work.
It is snowing out for the next couple days. Andrew and I grabbed some Indian food and enjoyed great dinner table conversation. Amy had a course so joined later in the evening. I was really tired so went to bed early and had a great sleep!!Les mer

Sibling time
3. november 2022, Canada ⋅ ⛅ -4 °C
Pete came to Andrew’s house at 8am and we headed towards the Mountains. It took three stops to find a Gluten Feed breakfast, but Communitea Cafe in Canmore was a win with an awesome breakfast bowl and lots of Gf bakery items.
Then to Grotto Creek Canyon for a hike. Lots of pure white snow and slots to pass through. We lost foot grippers but found them on the way back. Also lost my Contigo mug full of tea :-(. Perhaps during one of my fave plants in the snow (blunstones are not the best winter hiking footwear).
Then we headed for a Tim’s hot chocolate and on our way to Noah’s Volleyball game. It was great to watch him play and chat a bit with Caleb. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to spend more time with them.
Pete and I went to Moxies and Andrew (who came to the last of the volleyball games) meant us there. Great meal!
We headed back to Andrew’s (with e quick card shopping at Walmart). Then we sat around and chatted about family for the next hour or two, before I had to say goodbye to Pete and Amy (Andrew is driving me to the airport).Les mer

HOME Again
4. november 2022, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Andrew took me to the airport (where I learned that you are not supposed to have “hand warmers” in your carry on (left over from my hike the day prior).
In Toronto my flight was delayed but still got home around 9pm. Headed over to Pasq’s to chat with Manuka and Chandana about issues with their application (medical).
Throwing in a photo of following day horseback riding as it was inspired by this trip!Les mer
