I don't know how many people actually get Columbus Day off, but Jeremy had that option. He woke up and went to the gym with me at 6:30am, and then we both headed to work. I wrote 19 thank-you notes and then was very bored - no mail to sort, no bank run for Rhonda, nothing. Jeremy called and said he was going home at noon. Rhonda told me to just go with him. I called to check with Jason at Rainbow's End to see if that would be okay or if they were
really busy. He said it was so dead that he had probably only sold $15 worth and Bill (in the Boutique) had probably sold $1. So, I was able to go home! It was great. I think anytime you get to cut a work day short and just do whatever you want, it is great. Jeremy took a short nap while I made lunch for myself. Then, he looked up another geocache to go hunting for. It was a gorgeous afternoon, not nearly as windy as it has been. We went down to Antonito (about 15 miles south of La Jara). Rhonda had told me of a recycled castle there. So, we found this recycled castle. It is pretty cool to look at. I took some pictures, but I don't think they give the whole picture. Jeremy was sitting in the car - embarrassed - while I crept up for closer pictures. Then we headed east on some road (Road G) until it came to the Rio Grande river. The river was beautiful with the sun glistening off the surface, and the way it
carved its
place in the land. The picture (above right) is of the river, the bridge, and Mt. Blanca in the background. It is amazing how massive Blanca looks even from so far away. It is so difficult to capture this open land on camera. In addition to this, there are petroglyphs from the Indians of long ago. There is a sampling
to the left of what we think is a lizard. We came to this conclusion when we saw
lizards hiding in the cracks of the rocks nearby. This bridge picture to the right is for Mike - the bridge inspector. It creaked a bit when we drove over it, but I am thinking it is safe.
