Missed Meet Up with Misha

When Chris and I drove to Monument to meet Meacham's, we left a half an hour early. We were also planning to meet up with Misha in Denver on our way to give her our National Park pass and a few other things. With the traffic as bad as it was, we changed our plans and took the toll road instead.

That meant that Misha had to meet us somewhere off the toll road. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the designated spot, she was still a half an hour or so away. We had dinner plans at 6:30 and just couldn't wait that long. So, we had the items for her in a ziploc bag and found a place off the side of the road to leave them, dropped a GPS pin for the exact location, and sent the pin to her with a picture.

We crossed our fingers that the area was not frequented regularly and Misha would have no trouble retrieving the bag.

We felt badly that she had to go so far out of her way to pick things up. It took her about 45 minutes to finally reach the drop off spot and then locate the bag. We joked that it was like geocaching.

She wasn't quite so pleased.
