Colorado

When we last left off we had just entered Colorado.  We had eaten some lunch and were discussing our options.  There was a couple of campsites not too far.  But after some discussion we decided to go the rest of the way to Fort Collins and hit the rest of southern CO another weekend.


We rolled into town just as Marc was finishing up work.  He was surprised to see us so soon.  Einstein gave Boo a warm welcome - he was excited to see his sister.  He made us some spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and we hung out chatting for the night.

Saturday Liz and I hit the streets to help out.  Marc is running a campaign for ranked voting in Fort Collins. It's a referendum on the ballot to give FC voters the chance to rank their choices in candidates (1,2,3) rather then just pick one. We spent the morning and some of the afternoon canvassing a neighborhood, dropping off flyers and asking people to put yard signs up.  It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed walking around.  For lunch we went to an all you can eat pizza buffet and met up with Jess and Julia, friends Liz met on the AT.  Another low key evening.  Marc's roommate Shawn made a pork loin for dinner and we all enjoyed it immensely.


Sunday was a light day.  We took a bike ride to the GoLite outdoor store nearby that was having a great sale.  They had lots of cool stuff but it was all still expensive.  I did get a pack at a steal which I also needed.






From there we went to Jess and Julia's place.  Julia made a fresh salad for dinner and we hung out with a few drinks.

Monday ended up being a lazy day.  We stayed on the couch until the afternoon rolled around.  But then inspiration struck.  We saw a commercial for pizza's made out of crescent rolls.  It looked so tantalizing that we decided to make them for dinner.  They were amazing.





Today Liz has a meeting down by Denver.  I'll be laying around the house again.  Although there is some talk of Frisbee Golf this afternoon.  That's all for now folks.
