Thunder and lighting, oh my! Rain, wind and hail, ehhhh….. gads!

We have been welcomed to Colorado with blue skies in the morning and wild monsoons in the afternoon. The storm that rolled in while we were camping at Chatfield State Park near Littleton took our shade tent down and rocked the Pod for about three hours in the dark of night. We’ve been through lots of storms in our life but nothing like this; thought we were going to be sucked up by the kind of tornado that took Dorothy and Toto to OZ.

Luckily, while we were getting blown away, Colleen fared better and only got doused with some rain. We will resupply her at Kenosha Pass, our next camp spot.

We explored a wonderful trail at Rolling Creek, a trailhead for the Colorado Trail. It’s a few miles up a dirt road from Bailey and was lovingly quiet with plenty of stream for the boys and exquisite wildflowers. 

TRAIL NOTES: The very best dog park we have every visited is at Chatfield. The park is completely fenced and full of trails, swimming ponds, and lots of fun dogs. Our boys give it ***** and eight paws up.
