Today was our last full day in Estes Park.....I drove Nils (along with his bicycle) to the gorgeous Estes Park YMCA campus so that he could play a round of Folf (Frisbee Golf). Here are some pictures I took at the first "hole":

So now you know all about Disc Golf. Nils had a great time, although the course was really, REALLY hard---there were holes where he had to cover almost 800 feet in just 4 throws....he really got a workout and had a good time. He biked downhill all the way home (just took 20 minutes).
I, in the meantime, had fun in downtown Estes park....explored a very nice quilt shop and a gorgeous yarn shop too. The yarn shop owner told me that with over 2 million people visiting Estes Park every summer, she was glad for the Fall, when things slow down to normal. It's no wonder so many visitors come here--it's in the midst of the Rocky Mountain National Park with all so many hiking trails and gorgeous views of the mountains...and downtown E.P. has more ice cream, candy and fudge shops per block than I've ever seen in my life.
On the way back to the RV I got gas, groceries, and saw a herd of elk at the side of the road. What a lovely day. Nils and I both remarked that it was very nice, but felt rather odd to be apart for a couple of hours after having been together night and day after day for the past 2+ months.
