After our friends boarded the plane en route to Redding we drove past the house I used to live in in 1979, then visited the Armoury National Nature Reserve on the outskirts of Denver, where we were supposed to be able to see Bison. Instead we saw a pelican, some deer and lots and lots of prairie dogs, which were admittedly very cute. We then drove for a couple of hours west to the town of Salida where we spent the night in a motel that appears to have been given a recent makeover by some hipsters. It was pretty cool and had a hot tub, that made the kids happy. We picked up some food to make a picnic for the next day, and some microwavable dinner to take advantage of the Motel's facilities. And the girls got hats and sunglasses. Then we got to go in the hot tub at the motel. Oh, and I hit on the brilliant plan of offering them ice cream every day as long as they walked for at least two miles. It worked perfectly
