Outdoors Again

We took our first local vacation trip since my injury. We used to take at least two longer trips per season but until now I have not been up to it. We enjoyed a ride to the top of Pike’s Peak on the cog-railway, a short hike through the rock formations that make up Garden of the Gods park, and took a horse ride to see more terrain than I could manage with my cane. It was great to be back in the wilderness and I think it won’t be long before I am able to hike short distances on real trails with the assistance of walking sticks. To top it off we drove down to see the Royal Gorge bridge.
