We took off in a hurry to go to the mountains this weekend. We were planning to camp-- you should have seen the backseat of our car! It was filled to capacity with blankets because I told Joel that I hate being cold when I sleep!
When we got up towards Independence Pass, the Colorado National Forest campgrounds were all closed! We pulled a U-turn and ended up at... THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD!!!
It's a lodge-- it's set up sort of like a hostel. The main room had a huge fire place in it and a cute dog sleeping on the floor. Soon enough, we joined in with Spooner with us, talking to these folks. We fell in love with some of them.
The best part was feeling instantly connected with one woman who lives on the other side of the pass. Her youngest daughter has run away three times now and gotten herself so deep into drugs. Joel, this woman, and I held hands and just prayed for her daughter and her family.
