T hey had been driving for hours, and Maggie needed to get out and stretch her legs. They were ten minutes out from Estes Park, and she was anxious to get to her campsite and set up.

“It says on the website that you have to order your tickets for the Rocky Mountains online, and you will be notified if you get in.” Cindy glanced over at her. She’d let the girl borrow her phone so she could look up the information for visiting the Rocky Mountain National Park.

“Really?” Maggie threw her a glance.

“Yeah. It says here they do that to limit the number of visitors allowed in the park each day to prevent overcrowding and protect the park’s resources.” Cindy held out the phone.

Maggie pulled over to a small rest area and parked. She took the phone and clicked on the ticket information and purchased two tickets for tomorrow. “Okay, it’s booked. I’m going to let Walker stretch his legs before we get to Estes Park.”

Cindy reached for the door handle. “Good idea. I think I’ll head to the bathroom as well.” She climbed out of the van and walked toward the restrooms.

Maggie opened the side of the van and quickly leashed Walker. The dog was more than ready to get out. She walked him over to the green grass area clearly marked for dogs.

She pulled out her phone and looked at Joy Miller’s page. Glancing up to make sure Cindy was nowhere in sight, Maggie sent a quick message to Joy.

“Mrs. Miller. I am a friend of your daughter, Cindy. Are you interested in talking to me?”

She hit send before she could change her mind. Just in time too. Cindy walked over to her with a big smile on her face. “I’ll watch Walker while you use the bathroom.”

Maggie handed her the leash. “I will be right back.”
