Ironically, the geocache was under a NO DUMPING $900 FINE sign:-)

My son took me all the way out here because he read this area outside Denver had the best views of the Rocky Mountains around the Denver area (which was probably true) but I thought his plan that day might have been to walk me to death;-)
It sure was a beautiful day that day in Colorado, although rather cool for an Aussie like me who's not really made for minus 0 degrees Celsius days.
My son ended up closer to the Rocky Mountains that day than I did, as I stopped at the top of this street for a breather while he walked on to get better photos of the mountains.

My sinuses were killing me in Colorado, as I'm not used to the altitude and every morning in Denver I woke up with blood in my nostrils, joking to my son that I think I'm being abducted by aliens:-)
Leaving Las Vegas ... For Denver?🎰🌄🎲
Which in hindsight is weird considering that in this geocache site was a purple snowboarding alien and a 24-year sober AA coin:-)
Which my son let me keep as a memento of our walk that day, and I now have in front of me on my computer desk.
Maybe that's my son's hint to me that I should cut down on my drinking ... and stop getting abducted by aliens;-)
| My Alcoholics Anonymous coin ... which is not mine:-) |
Ironically, the first geocache memento my son let me keep when I first went hunting with him, was an owl trinket that I still have hanging to my left on my computer desk shelf, so maybe the universe is trying to tell me something?-)

One thing I noticed on my walk was the amount of miniature alcohol bottles discarded along the footpaths and roadsides in this area.
If I had a dollar for every bottle I saw on our walk, I'm sure it would have paid for our trip to America.I don't know why all these bottles reminded me of Kenny's Dad from South Park?
But that's for a future post.

| Scavenger Hunt (1979) |
I've never heard of the movie 'Scavenger Hunt' so I'll have to try and hunt it down on a streaming service and watch it today:-)
It's also the anniversary of my older brother's passing today.
National YA DIG Day: The Universe Has Your Back? 🌃🦉
