The second stop along the way is to visit good friends in Boulder, CO - good friends and a very good place to visit.  It is a beutiful town with neat shops, eateries, and great scenery.  We arrived late Sunday night after the most excrutiating drive of our lives.  I believe I would be okay if Iowa and Nebraska fell off the face of the earth.  Sorry to any patrons of those states.  The bleakness we were forced to gaze upon was comprable to what the Democrats would call torture.  It was all bearable until we passed the hog farms.  Our nostrils were greated with such a salutations as we have never before had the pleasure of enduring.  Nevertheless, we were in Boulder and happy to see our friends, Kristy and Alex, and Eileen "Don't Give Me No Flack" Stack.  Oh yeah, they have a dog named Porter.  They were all very kind to allow us to stay and dirty-up their place.  Monday marked day one out of five that we went hiking out west.  It was awesome.  First we went to the flat-irons; called that because of their resemblence to flat irons.  Those folks in CO are quite original, eh?  From the top, we were able to get our first glance at the snow capped peaks where we would soon be spending more time.  Tuesday we went to Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park.  We saw elk, mule deer, and snow.  We bouldered up a creek that was created by a dam bursting and moving thousands of rocks into the stream.  It was something I had never done before to that extent.  Having our fill of Boulder and its funtimes, not to mention its sushi and burgers (I had way to much), we went to bed Tuesday night ready to head to our next destination...Moab, Utah.
