This morning we wake up to a black-tailed deer drinking from a puddle beside the RV. We're in the middle of town but he ambles along as though this is his chosen route. We are now prepared for the controlled chaos in front of the rafting outfitters. I thought I had seen it all until I see a rafter wearing a pair of platform tevas. We enjoy the morning mayhem as we sip our coffee. After the parking lot has cleared out we stroll up and down Main Street eating and shopping. This is another town where it is difficult to find a weak cup of coffee. Peggy buys a turquoise necklace at the farmers market.
We return to the county park along the Arkansas River to find it crowded on this Sunday morning. We take a trail up river until we find a vacant spot. We give the dogs a much needed workout.
Peggy visits yet one more yarn shop and finds out that we are the talk of the town because of the spinning wheel in our picture window. We head north and take a campsite beside Lake Creek. We are in the shadow of Mt. Elbert (14,433ft), the tallest peak in Colorado. The afternoon rain shower causes the 'super freaks' in the site next to us to pack up and leave.
