St Vrain

The explanation for the mystery buildings might be about camouflaging cellphone equipment, but I still think there is a space alien component in there somewhere.

It would have been a great adventure to be on the Texas Coast and experience a category 2 hurricane landfall. We could have pulled in all the slides and awnings, put the jacks down, put the dish down, and ridden it out. Of course if we had been there we would have left long before the hurricane was projected to arrive to protect ourselves and our coach. Now, the hurricane has left the building. It headed inland for Laredo and points west.

A blustery afternoon here. A hot day in the 90s with a heavy afternoon thunderstorm dropping the temperature 20 degrees. We’re back at St Vrain for a week, working on a job in Santa Fe and another in Cortez.

Our elevation is 5,000 feet. Highs in the 90s is a little hot. We’ve been watching the weather in Breckenridge at 9,000 feet. Highs in the 60s and low 70s looks a little cool. Halfway in-between should be just right. We should be somewhere at 7,000 feet. Maybe next summer we’ll set the temperature we want and move accordingly.
