I skipped the last day of the class and went for a hike between the time the hotel kicked me out and Lina flew in to Columbus. I started as the same place as the last hike and went in the opposite direction. Amazingly, I saw more animals on this city-trail (a fawn and two otters) than I usually see int he mountains.
The best part of this hike happened afterward. The hotel let me use the pool shower before I picked up Lina and I spent some fantastic minutes in the pool, which will be my new standard operating procedure in Denver.
