A quick walk around the campground and we got magpie, house finch, house
wren, bushtits, flicker, yellow rumped warbler, and Osprey. North again.
We didn't go over the high scary passes, Coal Bank, Molas, and Red Mountain.
Cortez to Dolores, Stoner, and Ricoh. Over Lizardhead Pass, only 10,000
feet high. Full fall colors.
Right turn at Placerville, over Dallas Divide, 9,000 feet, Ridgway, and
lunch at the state park. For lunch we got starlings, magpies, pine siskin,
yellow rumped, mountain bluebirds, and eastern bluebirds. Montrose, Olathe,
Delta, Hotchkiss, Paonia, Bowie, Somerset. Over McClure Pass, 8,700 feet.
Down past the turn to Marble, through Redstone, Carbondale, and Glenwood
Springs. We're back in the Roaring Fork Valley again, staying at a
different place this time. The Campground at the No Name exit. They
changed it. It used to be tight and tiny. They opened it up. Now we get a
large open site with fifty amp full hookups, and a view of the sky for the
satellite dish.
