| Road closed due to snow |
While it was sweltering hot in Texas and the mid section of the country, we went on the Lobo Ovelook Hike on the Continental Divide. At least we tried to!
Friends we met in Florida came out to Colorado for a few days and we decided to hike.

| Too much snow to hike |
There was a lot of snow this winter and it hadn't melted yet. The road up to the trail was actually closed, but we tried to go up anyway. Well, it was closed for a reason. There was too much snow to get through. We parked and walked up. Elevation was about 12000 feet. The air was cool and crisp and thin!
As you can see, we didn't get very far. But we had a good time.

| What a view |
But, we got far enough to see a most spectacular view.

John and Karen Shampfli, Dana and Karen Lemmerman and us! Hiking in shorts and sweatshirts! The campground was about 20 degrees warmer at 8000 feet elevation.

Oh, I almost forgot! Breezy the dog was also with us. He really enjoyed the cooler temps!
John, Dana and Delton also played in the Annual Mac Henson Golf Tournament together. They enjoyed the golf and the company, but didn't win. Oh well, maybe next year.
