Glenwood springs


High country springtime weather. High thirties at night with a forty degree swing to daytime highs. Ridgway was our decompression from the stress of southern California. Mild weather. Minimal people. Knockout scenery. A soak at Orvis Hot Springs. A walk up to the yurt. Side by side massages. Another soak. It worked. We’re ready to go again. Now we’re on to Glenwood Springs. We’ll do the Aspen Center for Physics job mostly remote from here even though we’re within fifty miles of them. I’ll probably drive in for a live exit conference on Friday.

Ridgway

This is the cliff with the eagle’s nest. Last summer we watched a pair of golden eagles feed their almost fully fledged chick there. You can’t see the nest in this picture. I’m just showing you the general proximity. It’s easier to spot the nest when there are eagles flying back and forth to it with food.

Contrasts

We gave up our spot at Gulf Waters, for the parking lot at Circus Circus in Las Vegas, Golden Shores in Long Beach, and Newport Dunes in Newport Beach. It’s soo good to be at Ridgway.

Ridgway state park

An uneventful day. Traveled from Green River, around Grand Junction, through Delta, and through Montrose. We’re at Ridgway State Park. Now this is how it’s supposed to be.
