Last Thursday, the family all headed down to Trinidad, CO (sex change capitol of the US… who knew?) to pick up a small horse trailer. We had been looking in Colorado Springs and Denver, but apparently July is the hot month for buying horse trailers. So, we ended up making the longer drive. We weren’t too upset since it was a nice little outing for the whole family. Thanks to my friend Erika for encouraging me to get a crew cab pickup! We arrived without a hitch around noon, so the kids talked us into eating at Sonic. Certainly not our first choice, but this was Trinidad, remember. 😉 After lunch, we met the seller, Mike, at McD’s. He said he’d lead us to his ranch because there were some gates to open. Never did we expect to find a gated community of ranches! The gates to open were the gate to the area and a gate on his driveway.
