Rock Island Trail

Took a few hours today to visit the Rock Island Trail this morning. I can't believe it is mid-July and I haven't been out to run or ride. While that is disappointing, I still had a great ride today. I hitched up my daughter's trailer and she eagerly hopped in the trailer. We did a three hour round trip from the Alta trail head to Princeville. Kaleigh chatted it up to Dunlap then suddenly got quiet. I looked back and she was sound asleep. She slept the entire 30 minutes it took to get to Princeville. It was a BNSF train that jolted her out of her sleep. She was so excited to see the train because we had ridden a train to and from Colorado, but that morning in her tumbling class, they marched around pretending to be a train.

Then we stopped for a break so she could stretch her legs and we both enjoyed peaches, carrots and cherry tomatoes. We also took a short walk to inspect the white butterflies fluttering about. The regular flies got the better of us and we loaded up and headed back. It was a great day with great weather but even better company. We will be back soon.
