Folsom Lake State Park - Sunday

One of the things to do in Denver is to visit the Pikes Peak Cog railway (actually at Colorado Springs), which we did when we visted our niece Sarah. Quite unusually on that Cog railway trip up the mountain (actually coming down, but never mind), Sally got into converstaion with a very nice Fireman from Sacramento. In the conversation we mentiioned that we were going to visit Folsol Lake SP, by coincidence he lives but 2/3 miles from the park, so we arranged to meet up when we got to Folsom Lake SP. So today Sally and I had a quiet morning, then toured old Folsom Historic Arean, which is very nice, down by the Americas River, across from the prison, before going to the local supermarket (Raleys) to catch up on the weeks shopping. In the evening KC came and visited to our trailer. He also brought his lovely wife Rose and their son Walter. We had a splendid evening and chatted for far too long into the evening. We swopped stories of the road (walter had been on vacation to England) and learned more history of the Central Valley and just chatted, we got on like a house on fire, (which is OK because KC is a fireman). We had a very pleasant evening. When they left their car would not start (flooded we think) so I took them home in the van, whereupon Walter, having been left with the car to await the arrival of AAA, got the car started and drove home as well.
So we now have some good 'people memories' of Folsom Lake as well as the lovely lake and blue skies which always improve a place.
Thanks KC, Rose and Walter
