We had the most wonderful day. We took our inaugural trip in our new jeep that we have named Rubi Too. Our old Jeep was Rubi of course. We started off by removing the hard top and installing the "premium" soft top. Then we took off up the Boulder Canyon. We headed up Magnolia Road and then just kept turning onto dirt roads that presented themselves. It was great fun and we got good and lost. Then we discovered we could ask our GPS "Where am I?" and it would give us coordinates and the closest address. Gotta love GPSs. Isn't technology wonderful? Actauly we were't really lost as we just kept going and eventually came out on highway 119 between Black Hawk and Rollinsville and knew exactly where we were, but since we didn't know where we would end up or even if it was a through road - I can say we were lost. I love getting lost. Thanks to the GPS, we can find this place again which was truly beautiful - as you can see below:
While we were out there, we found a group called SCA who apparently like to dress up and live for a weekend like people from England during the 8th to 16th centuries and fight and shoot each other. Fake shooting of course. They have a king and queen and various barons and earls and things who get their titles by winning fights and hold the title for 6 months until the next meeting and fight, They invited us to come walk around, but sine it was beginning to rain and we had no windows in out jeep because we left them at home along with our jackets and anything to eat, we declined the invitation. You'd think we'd know by now not to ever go out in the Jeep without bringing all the proper things like food and clothing, but truly we did not think we were going out this far or for so long.
On the way home,we went to Pasta Jays for dinner and that is where I took the first picture here of the bikes decked out for the holiday. A bit of Knob Creek at home while writing this blog and then off to bed. An absolutely perfect day for celebrating our wonderful countries birthday. America the beautiful and greatest country on this earth.
