Wow! Friday came early this week. Finished the job up today. We could stay around for a couple more days, but we’re in a weather window. Should be fairly clear tomorrow, rain/snow in the high country by Friday, and we need to go over Monarch Pass. Road trip! Manana, Ridgway State Park. We’ll set up shop there for a job in Montrose next week.

Bridge

On our way over Tennessee Pass, we cross this really cool bridge. The problem with it is that the road approaches so Judy can see it coming, and she has some trouble with her acrophobia.
This last trip across, we distracted her by having her take a picture, and she concentrated on that, rather than how scary it is to go across the bridge.

I have no idea what we’re going to do for the next trip across.

By the way, there is a spanish accent over the “n” in Canon City, making the pronounciation “Canyon” City. Like “pinon”, in pinon pine, accent over the “n”.

What a great birdy place! In the field, on the fence, on the feeder. Mountain and western bluebirds, scrub jays, a hummingbird, ladder backed woodpecker, hairy woodpecker, flicker, kinglet, yellow rumps, chipping sparrows, and over by the Royal Gorge we saw an olive sided flycatcher and hundreds of white throated swifts.
