Day 6

We hiked to Cub Lake today in hopes of seeing the Moose that are reported to live near there. No luck, but we did have an Evan Almighty scene when we sat down to our snacks and were besieged by ducks, Stellar's Jays, and chipmunks. More elk, and a lone Bighorn ewe at Sheep Lakes after lunching at the Alluvial Fan. Some time at the Y doing art and disc golf, a drive up to Wind River Ranch to meet Henry and Remington, the horses that belong to our friends Jeff and Spider Fish, then dinner at Smokin' Dave's, a great BBQ spot in Estes. We had a great last full Colorado day, topped off by mini golf and two more bull elk as dark fell on the Y. This place truly is special for us, a place of rest and recharge. Tomorrow we begin our journey homeward. Likely one more spin into RMNP and then out towards the plains of our homeland. I think we are ready, or getting there anyway. Excited for one last morning in Estes Park!
