My roommate, Mike
mentioned it yesterday. That summer was mostly over. “It is not!” I quickly
replied. Then, I started to think about summer and realized that he’s kind of
correct, we are past the half-way point. Sliding through the sun going down at
9pm straight into wearing Dad sweaters.
Now the Alpine slide, if
you have not done, is a cement track down a perfectly good mountain, in which you
place a low-cart like mechanism. It is like bobsledding, but in the heat, and upon a
rash causing concrete track. Mike and I attempted to take a ride on the area’s
local slide; also nick-named the Tooth Chipper, but they had closed the week
earlier. The whole creepy Christian themed amusement park was being bulldozed
for condos. Now the closest slide is WinterPark, or Steam Boat Colorado…. About
a three hour drive. Which is fine. Perfect weekend drive / adventure.
After Pride, there seems
to be, to me anyway, a short list of acts that need to be crammed into summer
until the chill begins. There is the Renaissance Fair (against my will),
launching Chinese lanterns into dead of night, (trying to not get arrested),
maybe a second camping trip, and… the ever attempted; but very rarely
accomplished, Alpine slide.
So, Summer maybe more
than halfway over. But, there are plenty of fun adventures to be had.
