Oh wow! I read that they run quickly (case in point!). Roosevelt Natl Forest looks great! One day I’ll get to Colorado! It looks so beautiful. The craziest wildlife I’ve seen are gators, cottonmouths and bobcats in Florida (which is a different kind of hike).
A 6 foot black bear popped out of a bush about 40 feet away from where I was walking. I’ve never walked backwards so quickly & quietly in my life! In all the hikes I’ve done I’ve oddly never seen one.
I’ve been stopped at airports in the US and abroad a handful of times. It’s always frustrating and a little nerve racking. I’m always polite or try to crack jokes with TSA but damn they’re humorless and sometimes insulting. In Italy I was told my name was on some kind of list. I had 3 security screenings there! Also found out that an SSSS code on your boarding pass means you’re going to get a secondary screening.
I found my moms Royal Dansk cookie tin a few months ago. I opened it and found another smaller Dansk cookie. I opened that and found sewing stuff. But for a brief moment I had hope in finding a cookie or two 🤣 Also this: https://youtu.be/gPN5ZZp813U
