Hot weather, but that’s not going to change
anytime soon. Waved goodbye to Becky and Brian and headed east and south.
John
Martin Reservoir State Park. We got a really good campsite right on the
pond below the dam. No close neighbors.
Hot
when we got here, triple digits, but it cooled off to comfortable early in the
evening.
It
has been over a month of rehab (taking it easy) on my hamstring, and it should
be okay now, so I decided to give it a test drive on the trails behind
Flagstaff.
It
was a good walk with uphills, downhills, and even a little bit of climbing to
overlooks.
A
little bit of a road out.
Not
like anything I ever get to hike on the South Texas coastal plain. It was
a happy walk, very familiar terrain, and no complaints from the hamstring.
With
some of the crew at the Denver Office.
We
didn’t plan ahead very well, just spur of the moment, so most people were off
working on jobs. Becky drove us in to the new office. First time
we’ve seen it. Nice.
Got
Ian, Jessica, Tymla, Warren, Ken and David. (David is not pictured, he’s
the one who took the photo.) That guy with his back to us is
Conner. Interning. Altogether with the Denver Office and the
Albuquerque Office there are 30 of us now.
Help.
I can’t stop taking pictures of sunsets!
Marauding
bushtits!
One
or two or three show up.
Then
a few more.
Burrowing
into the suet.
Until
it’s like a plague of locusts!
Then,
one after another, they all leave together.
