Estes Park

I forgot to mention my Estes Park adventure with Jake. On Friday, the 13th of November, Jake and I decided to head out to Estes Park after class for the day. We wanted to see some elk, so that was our motive and goal for the trip. It started snowing on the way there. Lucky we had our coats, as it wasn't very cold or snowy in Greeley when we left. When we first got there, we walked around downtown and checked out some of the shops. Then we decided to eat some lunch before searching out the elk. We enjoyed some delicious elk burgers at the Wild Roses restaurant that even has a "Desert" menu!


We did end up seeing some elk!! There were four huge bulls hanging out right outside in someone's front yard. They even started fighting using their antlers, however, I think they were just play fighting because it didn't look too intense.

It was a fun trip. On the way home, we also saw some big horn sheep right off the road. We stopped at the famous Dam Store for some jerky, got new windshield wipers for my car (which I really needed), and rented a movie before going home. I crashed on the couch watching the movie after about ten minutes into it. I'm a terrible movie watcher.
