Trekking goes Trekking (sort of)

On day two of our Colorado adventure, we headed to Mesa Verde National Park. Another place Hubbo and I wanted to share with The Girl. I really wanted to go on one of their special 100 year anniversary tours, but they were expensive and sold out. Instead, we chose to tour the Spruce Tree House and the Cliff Palace.

However, due the steep climbs and narrow passages, I did not actually get to knit on the sock during our adventures. I did knit on her during the car ride in and around Mesa Verde though, so that's got to count for something!

Sock number one was finished up on our last day in Durango, and sock two started on the drive to Telluride.

While in Telluride, the sock


watched the fireworks (which were possibly the best fireworks I've ever seen)


rode the Gondola to Mountain Village (and I'm not sure why I'm not looking at the camera here!)


and watched The Gourds in the POURING rain.(I know it doesn't look like it in this picture, but it was pouring. Seriously. Even with a giant golf umbrella, I was soaked through to my undies when we got up to leave. Yuck. However, I certainly wasn't as wet as The Harlot.)

Whew! That's one busy sock! Sadly, with all the rain we got in Telluride (the only time it didn't seem to rain was during the fireworks - lucky for us!), we didn't get to go on a hike. :( The sock pouted quite a bit about this, and is still a bit miffed. However, hubbo has promised to make it up to the sock in the next few days and take us hiking somewhere nearby.

The sock had one more adventure before arriving home, but you'll have to wait for tomorrow for that! And for pictures (and details) of new yarn!
