A weekend at the State Park. We had it all to ourselves during the week.
Meadowlarks in the morning. Magpies. Pelicans. Red-tails. The park
started filling up Friday night. It was totally full Saturday. Kids
campers pets music conversation boats bicycles campfires beer late night.
People having fun. Nothing bothered us. Once we close up the motorhome for
the night, we're done with the outside world. Sunday, the exodus begins
early.
Chatfield State Park. It is right at the edge of Denver, so it's easily
accessible to everyone on the weekends. Full hookups. More bicycle trails
than we can ride while we're here. Boating, fishing, birding. It has a
heron rookery. Horseback riding. An airpark for remote control model
planes. They buzz the sky in the distance, except for the jet. It
whooshes. In the middle of all these piston engine model planes, there is a
delta wing fighter jet, with a jet engine. Really.
We woke to hot air balloons rising over the other side of the lake Sunday
morning. This is a nice place to be.
