Hello Family & Friends,
I cannot believe that we have just 10 days left before we head back to Arizona. We took a trip to Darrel's brother's house (just north of Denver) and the only pictures I took was of Collegiate Peaks with all the snow on them. It was beautiful and I've decided that pictures just don't do it justice, but then, when does it?
I kept trying to get a picture without traffic on the road, but it wasn't going to happen!
This one had a motorhome driving through 😆
The morning was chilly, we left South Fork with 41 degrees but the weather was much warmer north of Denver and we drove into upper 70's and mid-80's by the time we arrived. We had a nice visit, the time always flies and we headed home on Thursday.
Over the weekend we took a drive up the mountain roads to see what shape they were in after the snowmelt. Things are pretty dry on the surface but there is moisture under the ground. Darrel was trying out a new pair of headphones on the metal detector but our finds included lead bullets, bullet jackets, rusty wire, and an utility knife so rusted you wouldn't have recognized it! But at least he is finding metal!
On the way down the mountain in fact only about 4 or 5 miles from the RV park, Darrel spotted a herd of deer and we watched them for about 5 minutes -- they definitely knew we were there. I couldn't decide which ones I liked the best, so I've included them all.
Mr. Buck was definitely a young man and he was herding the women and children up the hill.
Boy, don't they really blend?
Our last pic before they were gone from sight.
Sunday we went in search of Aspens --- to see if they were going to change color this year. I think maybe? We spotted a few and I hope we see more in the next 10 days.
Will try to see how well they do along Willow creek later this week. We have the perfect temps, warming in the days, and chilly nights -- it should do the trick, especially after the snow moisture.
Better run, will try to get at least 1 or 2 more posts in before we travel (but don't hold me to it).
Sending blessings (and lots of love) from the road,
Susan & Darrel
