Hello Family & Friends,
Been a little while since I posted so I am going to bombard you with probably a few to catch up -- they will be short and sweet I am sure??!!
We did a sluicing trip to Big Meadows, the water is so low in the streams and pretty sluggish, it is difficult to find a spot to put the sluice in to work but we did!
We haven't had measurable rain for a couple of weeks, some pop up showers after 4pm and a few sprinkles in the early afternoon. Colorado still needs more rain!
The day was beautiful with clouds and sunshine, the views are spectacular!
The clouds rolled in ....
but they left in a hurry with the blue peeking through.
Found a flower bush, not sure if a mountain rose, but it had pretty blooms.
Mickey digging for the material to sluice with, I was around the corner taking the picture.
Brad and Darrel working the sluices, you can see that the streams are low, usually the water is nearer where the buckets are sitting.
We headed up the road towards the lake area to see what we might see, stopped at a couple of campground areas and poked around for mushrooms -- I think this year is a bust for find the fungi.
On our way down we saw a Marmot (and I have been spelling the name wrong, it is "ot" not "et"), sunning him/herself on the rock. We watched quite awhile before it took off between the rocks to its burrow.
Sending blessings from the road,
Susan & Darrel
