I'm totally serious. There was a list of things not to do, and that was the last thing on the list...lol...I about died laughing.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It really is an excellent trail. Really though, it's hard to find a bad one around Estes.

If you can manage, PLEASE send me a picture!

On your second point... I agree. Even the drive out there was breathtaking!

That makes me so happy. Thank you very much!

Unfortunately, we did not get a welcome packet, or else I might've known better!

I'm glad that my stupidity will leave a legacy.

You've become a legend...lol

I picked up the rental car at Fermilab earlier, and there was a packet with a bunch of different information about local events and things like that with it. I'll have to mention to Tanja that I know you.

Oh wow, we didn't get any of that! But yeah, looking at the list, a lot of the "do not"s come from us. One of our fellow interns hit a car then drove off.

And yeah, definitely hit up some of the local events. There are a bunch of awesome festivals and stuff.
