We planned to hike along the eastern edge of the RMNP on the 11th. David was tired, so he went to bed early. Leslie stayed up and before she headed to bed, so took Keira out for one last potty break. As they were coming up the stairs back into the Wanderer, Keira raced up the steps and knocked Leslie off the stairs. She hung onto the door but landed on the grill table and wacked her left foot really hard on the stairs. David woke up hearing a loud bang and the trailer shuttering. When he got dressed and investigated, he found Leslie sitting on the chair looking at large welt on the top of her left foot. Fortunately, nothing seems broken but the top of her foot is badly bruised and will take a while for the swelling to go down and the bruising to clear up. That was the end of our hiking plans for the rest of the trip. We are working on teaching Keira not to do that ever again! The next morning, David took Keira out for her morning walk and there was a herd of Elk with a huge Bull in the field next to the pond. Keira didn’t even notice them until David pointed them out. Then she looked them over and promptly ignored them. We guess they were too big to consider playing with so she didn’t care. The Elk did not like the look of Keira so they proceeded to wander away back toward the NP. But they came back later that evening for a drink.
