San Diego!
So two 4 weeks ago since I could not go to the Outer Banks I decided to go to San Diego for a few days. And while it was not my favorite city it was very relaxing to get away from a job I hate. But while there I got in a run, hanging out on the beaches, old town san diego, and see seals at the bay in La Jolle. While it was a busy trip it was a very fun trip until I had to go back to grand lake.

Great Sand Dunes National Park
Sorry for the delay in posting but I have been busy these past 2 weeks. 2 weeks ago Tuesday morning I got up early and on the road for the 6 hour drive to Great Sand Dunes NP. I passed through Denver, Castle Rock, and Colorado Springs stopping at Cracker Barrel for lunch and onto to the town of Mosca, CO. After arriving at the Park I made a brief stop at the visitors center and headed to the campground to set up my home for the night. Although it was a Tuesday both campgrounds were full. I set up my tent and then changed and hiked up the dunes while walking through the near empty Medano Creek. I sure like the feeling of sand between my toes. I did not quite make it to the highest dune before I was exhausted and realized it would take another 30 minutes to get to the top. I turned around and headed back to camp. I had a wonderful meal of PB&J, Water and a Granola bar. After that I went to the Park Ranger program, and watched the sunset before heading to bed. When I went to lay down I realized that I had no sleeping pad so it was not the best night of sleep especially since I was awoken by the Coyotes in the early morning hours. The next day I got up early had breakfast that consisted of a granola bar and water and went on on Bison Tour near the Park. After the tour it was back to Grand Lake.
