We don’t always get to stay in places where the sites are well separated. At the Steamboat park, they’re back to back.
Springtime in the rockies
The Steamboat area got great snow this last winter. Now they are having a warm early spring. The Yampa River is one of the least-dammed rivers in the west. The campground is having a very wet spring. Wetter than they want it.

Even outside remote mountain towns, there is still the danger of traffic jams.
Cranes
The sandhill cranes wandering about behind Hayden. I couldn’t get a picture of Judy standing next to them for perspective, but they are almost as tall as she is.
