Since MKa was out of commission due to her knee issue, I ran out on my own to capture sunset at Red Rock Park. There is a naturally formed amphitheatre out in the Morrison, CO area. There are two 300-foot monoliths, Creation and Ship Rocks, that stand like sentinels on each side of the stage.

The view below was from a lookout point showing both sentinels.

I wish I had arrived a bit earlier to spend more time meditating there. Since I wasn't that familiar with the area, I decided I should start the drive back sooner rather than later. The weather was so nice, even for 9p in the evening, I had the sunroof open to enjoy the nice breeze. I traveled south for the return trip. As I arrived at the exit for the hotel, I made a wrong turn so I decided to head into the Taco Bell there to grab a bite. As I was pulling out, I looked to see if there was a "No Left Turn" sign. Not seeing one, I drove out to the far lane and ... found myself in the far turning lane of oncoming traffic. YIKES! When someone does a "blonde" move, you might hear them say, "I'm so pretty!" Well.....tonight I am the MOST BEAUTIFUL woman in Colorado! Fortunately with it being late on a Sunday evening, there were only 5 cars that came toward me. None honked. Thank God! As soon as it was clear, Dory and I made a U-ie and after a few more turns, we managed to get in the correct lane. I love my guardian angels!!!
Tomorrow is my last day here with MKa. It will be bittersweet to end the trip. I definitely am ready to get back home in Michigan, yet I will miss her company and this beautiful Colorado weather and scenery. Living around the mountains and taking in the breathtaking vantage points has been one of the best birthday presents ever. Thank you to my wonderful husband and MKa for giving me this opportunity! Hugs!!
