July 12:
Today I was woken up to a herd of free range cattle moving loudly through my campsite. Cows make me nervous when they are in herds because I'm never sure whether they are docile or aggressive animals (or does it depend on the cow itself, like people?). Once when I was hiking the Lady Moon Trail in Red Feather Lakes, there was a huge herd of cattle that I came across without meaning to; they all began snorting and stomping their hooves as I walked past, as if I were intruding upon their territory. I mean, I know they stampede in the rodeos and all, so do they charge? Are they dangerous? Anyways, this morning I decided to ignore the potential threat and go about brushing my teeth (and photographing them), which worked out fine. I even had a momma cow get up close and sniff me!
Yesterday Bri and I went to Junction Creek on the Colorado Trail to bathe, and as we were headed out on Junction Creek Road, we noticed a sweet, shabby trailer park. We called to see if they had any "units" for rent, but no, they did not. However, the property management company informed us that there was one 3 bed/1 bath unit left that was just north 5 blocks of Junction Creek, for only $925/ month! So I called my friend Ethan who lives in Charlotte, North Carolina to let him know that there is a potential rental that could easily meet all of our budgets (and then some!). Needless to say, he was thrilled, and wanted to know how soon he could move out to beautiful Durango.
