Breakfast, fast and easy with little clean-up. We need to be out of our site by 10 a.m. A park ranger driving by the campground stops and tells our neighbor to leash his dog. He replies, “This is not my dog.” He tries to lure the dog to him with treats. The ranger is now walking up to the dog cautiously, saying, “Be careful, we don’t know what the dog will do.” I go over to the screen tent to tell Nancy. She walks over with Moe, the dog walks over to Moe. The ranger now has a secure grip on the dog’s collar. We tell the ranger the area that we think the owner of his dog is camping. All is well.
I finish brewing coffee, Nancy and Moe walk over to our neighbor. My coffee is done, I also walk over. Harrison introduces himself, and we do the same. We enjoy a nice conversation that lasts a while. Then I remember we need to finish packing up. Once packed and driving out of our site, we stop and I hand Harrison my card. He was interested in following our tours.
The drive to Pueblo.
We park the camper in our site and drive back to Pueblo. Nancy has a prescription to pick up. I go to Urgent Care. About a week ago, I noticed a sore on my lower back. It now itches and is painful. While Nancy is at the pharmacy, I am at Urgent Care. I have a three-inch area of red rash, and in the center is a bite. It appears to be a spider bite. I now have an antibiotic.
We bring ice cream back to camp along with ice and Dr. Peppers. The ice cream is already no more. Sitting in the shade, I contacted the two Warmshowers hosts for tomorrow and the next night. I still need to go through the panniers to not overbring what I will not be using the three nights before meeting up with Nancy.
The sun drops a bit, and it is cool. We walk the trails. The sunset is in different spots.
