For a long while we had to stop with our day trips. There were two reasons: 1) too hot or 2) too smokey. There are a number of fires burning here in Colorado and the California. Oftentimes it was difficult to see the foothills for the smoke.
Today we resumed our trips since yesterday we bought a 2019 Honda Pilot LX, cooler temperatures blew in and the smoke has let up. We packed a picnic and drove up to Estes Park which is about 1 1/2 hours from home. Wow that 6 cylinder SUV really climbed the mountain roads nicely.
We found a nice shady spot by the lake and settled in. We lunched, read our Kindles, walked along the lake and relaxed.
On the way back we stopped at the Rio Grande restaurant in Boulder to eat.
It was a good day.
