    A short drive north.  All set up south of Denver.  Had to let the velvet buck mule deer get up off our pad so we could park on it.  Robin nest in the tree outside our bedroom window.  An afternoon storm.   1,185 miles from Port A.  A birthday party for Alex.  The picture of Alex and Austin; I’d call it Little Matt, and…. Little Matt.   Tomorrow…  We stay here a week and visit with Matt and the boys.
