more from the Hills

Except for the wasps that continue to torment us, we are enjoying our stay in the Hills. The weather has been awesome.

On Friday we biked and did a driving tour. Ron drove with Mike to pick up Zoe and Ashton. We had our evening fire at their campsite in Rainbow. 

Saturday we decided to would ride our bikes to the Bald Butte lookout. The sign at the corner of our campground said 5.4 km. Not so far, right?? Well we peddled for 20 minutes or so thinking we would be arriving soon. And then we came to the next sign saying 2.4 km. A much younger, much more 'in-shape' couple zoomed by. We left them to it, turned around, headed home, got the truck and drove to the lookout! We passed those in-shape bikers on their way back. 

Saturday evening Mike, Gail, Zoe and Ashton came for supper. Their day had consisted of painting rocks, the Segway tour and watching the Rider game via laptop. We enjoyed a chicken/pork tenderloin meal together and we roasted marshmallows over the fire.

The evening entertainment included a couple of bucks locking horns just behind our campsite. Cool. Unfortunately it was too dark for photos. Mike and gang left early for the 'Star gazing' program at the Observatory. Ron and I enjoyed the stars from our spot at the campfire.

Sunday came and went with more of the same - great weather, biking, campfire.  Loving the Fall Colours!

And that brings us to the office this morning to pay for a few more nights. We are a little worried about the upcoming weather forecasts, but will stay put for now... Lots of wood, so a warm campfire remains inviting!
