Cone Park Hike 9/18



Good People--Jan and Sadie, we at times think our dog is Good People.
Good Food--we had lunch with cousins Cecil and Shelia at Las Carritas in Golden, just south of the King Soopers on Old Golden Road. Burritos for $5, can't beat it. Can you believe it--I forgot to take a picture. We did manage to get to Applejacks--October sale, so we hauled home a case of various cabs, chard and a riesling. We will let you know how they tasted, especially a couple were under $5 on sale.
Good Exercise--we did a short hike 1 1/2 hours on a fairly level trail. The Cone park is part of the Jeffco park system, there were a couple of small Jeffco parks before we got to Golden Gate State Park. It was our plan to hike a trail in GGS to see the colors but time was running out so we took this trail. It is a little over 1 1/2 hours from home to GGS, which is 13 miles west of Golden. It dawned on us that we can get to Silverthorne in the same time.
Great Retirement--we ran into a couple of mountain bikers (they should have been at work) for the most part we had the trail to ourselves, very quiet and peaceful. We think Sadie learned a new command "behind". She does not run back and forth in front of us when she is "behind", see pic. I started this last year when I was hiking the Castlewood Canyon trail with her and some other dogs, this year she did better.
