Wednesday was a day set aside for a little rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation that gave us a chance to explore the beauty of the San Luis Valley. Lots of the team members ventured to the Great Sand Dunes and rode "sand boards" and sand sleds down the dunes. The object was to remain either upright on the board, or seated on the sled. Lets just say we were met with mixed success but a great time was had by all. Several people also took off on a hike to Zapata Falls which isn't too far from the Sand Dunes. This is a fairly easy and beautiful hike that leads to a 25-foot waterfall which provided some nice relief from the heat.
Alligators in Colorado? You betcha! One of the side trips that a few people made was to the Alligator farm located just outside of Alamosa. They also have a small Tilapia farm on the premises as well as Emu, Peacocks and Ostriches. Who knew?
One group took off in search of fish. Steve Batch, Dr. Scott, and Bob Muckle set off at 6:30 in the morning to a secluded section of the Conejos River to fly fish. The day was a success. They caught several nice fish and had a nice day exploring a bit of this beautiful valley, all in preparation for the last two work days of our trip.
