  Social Distancing Golf

  OK- disclaimer- my husband does not play golf.....However, I know that many of our friends who do are chomping at the bit to get back to their games. I couldn't resist setting up this shot on a recent hike in Mueller State Park. As you can see, the "golf ball" is a beautifully formed pine cone........and the club - a hiking pole. Also notice "Bacon Rock" as the perfect backdrop.

  Deep Snow and empty trail

  Even in times of a pandemic, there are places in our country where the trees outnumber the people and snow in April feels like it is washing away the plague... We were the only people on this narrow trail in Mueller State Park CO where in some spots the snow was knee high.

  Social Distancing Cars at Mueller State Park Colorado

  My husband and I are fortunate enough to live near the beautiful and uncrowded (except during "leaf peeping" season) Mueller State Park. In ordinary times most hikers are very thoughtful and move to the side on narrow trails to let others get by. I was pleasantly surprised that this courtesy was extended to placement of parked cars!! (not sure why the map won't show Divide so I'm entering the closest town Woodland Park)

  Social Distancing Cars at Mueller State Park Colorado

  My husband and I are fortunate enough to live near the beautiful uncrowded Mueller State Park in Divide Colorado. In ordinary times other hikers are usually very polite about moving off the narrow trials to allow others to pass, but I was impressed by how careful people are now even about leaving space between cars. We can get out of the house, enjoy the fresh air and scenery and not worry about close contact with others.
