Stuck on Coal Creek Trail
Well, though my body has arrived back from Hawaii my mind clearly has not. We went on a quick 3 miler on the Coal Creek Trail today, and Colorado is colder than snarf. It was a balmy 22 degrees when we set out–a far cry from the 80s last week. And then I managed to pull a real idiot move–I pulled around the loop in the trailhead parking lot and got my truck high-centered in deep, unplowed snow. Fortunately a guy showed up with a winch and he pulled me out, delaying his taking his daughters tubing for a few minutes. I feel like I complete idiot–normally I’m the one pulling people out with my four wheel drive truck–not the other way around. But hell, got some miles in, and I need to force myself to get back in the habit back here in the cold…
