Tommy searches for the brotherhood of the white temple

Tommy was supposed to visit a cornfield maze and help us navigate through it with his amazing hound sniffing capabilities. However, the cornfield maze didn't allow pets. How annoying is that? What kind of OUTDOOR cornfield maze wouldn't allow dogs too? Very discriminatory if you ask me. Then we decided to try the Castle Rock Art Festival in the middle of downtown Castle Rock. They also didn't allow dogs! No dogs?!? No dogs in the middle of a downtown STREET festival? Who are the people who make up these stupid rules? They are obviously cruel, hateful people with cold, bitter hearts.


So, after driving to Denver AND Castle Rock all for nothing we decided to head to Sedalia to hunt for the Brotherhood of the White Temple, which is in the Oddball Colorado book. This was a rather uncomfortable trip. The paved road ended abruptly. Then we turned off the nice wide dirt road onto some mountain roads that were washed out and very, very steep and narrow and that took us to someone's home...someone who could very well step out onto the porch with a shotgun when they saw us turning around. We only bottomed out once on these roads. When we finally got to a sign that read, Brotherhood of the White Temple College and Church, we snapped a picture and got the heck out of Dodge. Driving around a secluded mountain looking for the church of a cult isn't exactly like navigating a cornfield maze at a city botanical garden, you know?


Tommy is back home safe and sound and none the worse for wear although I'm sure he would tell you that driving around in a car all day is not very much fun. He would have much rather helped mommy and daddy through a cornfield maze. He's taking a siesta. Napping all day in the car is exhausting.
