John and I had a nice day in the park. It’s incredible. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately I came down with a cold. One of those sneezy, stuffy ones that really has knocked me for a loop. I have been toughing it out, but it did put a damper on the day for me.<\/p>\n

We took the more southerly roads through the park today. On the advice of park hostess Linda, we went to Sprague Lake and hiked around it. We ran into a little snow, but not enough to justify boots (although I had bought some new warm ones in Estes Park). This area had once been a lodge owned by a gentleman named Sprague. It’s wonderful that the National Park Service is restoring the whole area to it’s untouched state.<\/p>\n

This is an area we highly recommend. The beauty of it humbles you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
