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!
Not sure he knows which way is up!
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.
