the hiking bug

[wordygirl]

Lately I've really had a strong urge to get back to doing more hiking, particularly as a way to both enjoy this beautiful part of the country I now call home and also as a way to get fit and burn more calories (the more I burn, the more I can eat! That's the theory anyway... ;-) I would also like to start camping again, as I love the opportunity

Oh! Oh! I know I've never met you but I've been looking for a hiking buddy for some time now. I used to live in Northern Colorado, and was a park ranger for a short time in Rocky Mtn NP. I'd love to start with some short day hikes.

Sure, let's do it! I'm assuming you would want to go somewhere down in the Denver or Boulder area, rather than up in the Fort Collins area? I got a book on Fort Collins area trails and another one on Boulder trails, so I can see what would be convenient for both of us. Or maybe you know of some good places. Right now somewhere with shade would be nice, and I'd ideally like to bring a dog but that's not a requirement.

I can occasionally get up early enough to get somewhere in the morning, but I am NOT a morning person, so somewhere that's cool during the day or that's suitable for an early evening hike would suit me best. You can email me at the address on my web site if you want to continue making plans. (I'm not sure if I post it here if it'll get picked up by spam bots.)

Let's do it! I need to spend more time exploring this beautiful area and less time on this damned computer!! For all the time I spend on here, I might as well live in a cheap basement apartment in Kansas ;-)
