Our connection with Kristen wasn't so great and she was feeling some distress, so we pulled over and talked to her for about 20 minutes or so before continuing on our way.
She was on her way grocery shopping so it was a good time to say goodbye. The financial clerk for the mission forgot to transfer money to her account so she needed to use our credit card to buy some groceries.
We reached Kenosha Pass around 11 am. Traffic was heavy on the road with lots of travelers driving home after the long weekend.
We hiked the Colorado Trail next to Kenosha Campground. It was another one of those that went up the down then up again and then down. I wasn't too pleased with the second round of up and down again.
Again, the leaves were starting to change here and there, nothing too drastic yet. There will be lots of yellow leaves in a month as the area was full of aspens.
After hiking part of the way back up the hill, we stopped at an overlook for lunch. There was a big ranch below with a small pond. The ranch wasn't too far from Jefferson Lake but you could only see it when you got to the right spot on the trail.
We hiked for a couple of hours. I got a blister from my new boots. BOOO.
After arriving back at the car, we quickly changed out of our boots, got a snack, and were on the road again in the heavy traffic. It was slow going for awhile, but I think that was because there was a stop light that seemed to slow everyone down.
We got home around 5 pm and Chris helped me unload the car and then immediately started mowing the lawn since he will be gone for the rest of the week.
I worked on unpacking, sorting dirty clothes, getting dinner ready and talking to Kristen. I had to call Chris in around 6:40 pm since Kristen only had 20 minutes left to talk and she wanted to have some time talking to her dad.
