Another busy week. My brain is tired. We didn’t really get out and around much. No drive up to Silverton. We did get to wave at the steam train as it went by every morning. The weather is warm. We’re back to a little altitude, maybe 6,500 feet, so the nights are cool, fifty degrees. We saw the space station and space shuttle go by one night. The space station is about the brilliance of Venus, but much faster. It rose in the west, followed by the shuttle, and disappeared overhead a few minutes later, presumably in the earth’s shadow. It was going so fast, it must circle the globe about once an hour. Tomorrow, Ridgway State Park.

Had a nice walk on Father’s Day. Spent a couple hours in Sand Canyon. Saw and hear lots of birds. Got plumbeous vireo and gray vireo, both unusual birds for us. Got a walk in the Hawkins Preserve, which is administered by the Cultural Center Client. Got a long look and listen to a lazuli bunting at the edge of McElmo Canyon. But we’ve left the gang in Cortez behind. A busy time there. Worked with the Hospice organization last week. Worked with the Cultural Center this week. Finished up and moved on to Durango this afternoon. Tomorrow we start a new job here.

Phoenix to Flagstaff to Gallup to Shiprock to Cortez. Here safely with our friends at the Cortez KOA. I think they saved the best spot for us.
