Basalt

Another grueling driving day…. from Gypsum to Basalt. Twenty miles yesterday; fifty miles today. Life on the road. Back in Basalt. We’ll be here for a couple weeks.

We hear the price of diesel is going up. Hard to tell from here, we last tanked up in Raton, New Mexico.

Back to our campground birds. Swallows, finches, magpies, blackbirds, and waxwings. This is our reliable waxwing place.

A job in Carbondale starting Monday.

Hummer

Gypsum

The Glenwood week is done. The Glenwood job is done. Now we’re east of the canyon between Gypsum and Dotsero at Riverdance RV Park. A little fishing on the Eagle River.

Rifle falls state park

Not the usual Colorado habitat; almost tropical.

Rifle falls state park

Not far from Glenwood Springs.

Santa fe

Meanwhile, back at Santa Fe Skies, there is a lot to see.

Along the way

Sage and wildflowers at Camp Hale, the 10th Mountain Division World War II training facility for mountain warfare.

Good High country stuff.
