Dillon Rules!

This weekend was a good-ol' outdoorsy type of weekend. We started on Friday after work, going on a difficult hike west of Golden. When I say difficult, I mean it- I am still sore from it! Lots of steep portions of the hike and the overall hike was probably 7 or 8 miles. I was definitely feeling it the next day!

Saturday we headed up to Dillon Reservoir (in the mountains, about 1 hour 15 mins. away) to kayak and camp. We lucked out and got a campsite super close to the water, so we were able to just walk our kayaks down to the shore and get in the water. The lake is really big and surprisingly quiet, considering the size and location. We shared the lake with a few other kayakers, some sailboats and the occasional pontoon and fishing boat. Anyways, the campground was pretty nice, with the exception of our neighbors to one side of us, and their poor, pathetic dog, 'Tiny'. We heard the word 'tiny' probably more than 250 times over the course of the weekend, because they were too DUMB to put the freaking dog on a leash and obviously too DUMB to train the dog to listen to them. Not the dog's fault for wandering around, but the owners were just freaking ignorant. It says at the entrance of the campground that all pets must be leashed. Just because the dog was the size of a rat, doesn't mean that it doesn't need to be on a leash... Anyways, I just felt bad for the dog and our other neighbors with awesomely well behaved dogs on leashes, because Tiny kept going up to those dogs and barking at them.

Enough of me harping on our dumb campsite neighbors... It's hot here this week, like 90˚, but no humidity, so it's totally bareable. Though, my plants outside are suffering- I am watering them 2-3 times a day, because they just start wilting so quickly! Poor things! Anyways, no big plans for this week, maybe a hike on Wednesday if the weather is good, and a short roadtrip for the weekend...
