These last two days have been very fun out here in Grand Junction. Yesterday we took a bit of a drive into Colorado National Monument. Many pictures were taken, so hopefully I'll have those up on the website before too long. Heck, I should have many, many photos up soon, if I'd just get my butt in gear concerning another page similar to the music page.
Again, I digress. My father-in-law is a big outdoorsman, and loves to go hiking and kayaking whenever he gets the chance. I, on the other hand, merely pretend to be an outdoorsman. I really do enjoy hiking, and have done some canoeing and kayaking, but nothing very serious. I mean, the guy has his own little GPS thing and everything. So, the point of this is that I am pretty sure I agreed to do a 7-mile hike through the canyon and up to one of the summits. So, 7-miles, with about a 2,000 foot ascent. No problem. In reality it shouldn't be that bad, but the altitude, 6,500 ft. (1,981 m) above sea level might hinder me somewhat.
So I have that to look forward to come thanksgiving. Hopefully we attempt this before the turkey-induced coma.
Today, we traveled to Ouray, CO, which was about two hours drive one way. The town itself was somewhat quaint, with only an interesting rock/fossil store to keep me interested. On the other hand, the drive into the mountains was quite nice. Until it rained on us, which thankfully, didn't really occur until we returned to the car. Again, many more lovely pictures. :)
Finally, I am officially psychotic. I was doing a little internet browsing and came across National Novel Writing Month. I think I'm going to participate. Now, what should I write about? The weird thing is, that I'm considering doing something along the lines of a suspense/thriller, despite the fact that I've read so few books in the genre. I silly idea, no doubt, but such things seem to be encouraged over at Nanowrimo. So, any suggestions?
